the hyperbola for which the asymptotes are perpendicular also is called an equilateral hyperbola. this occurs when the semimajor and the semiminor axes are equal. this corresponds to take a=b,giving eccentricity e=√2 plugging a=b into general equation of hyperbola with semimajor axis parllel to x axis and semiminor axis parllel to y axis
(x-xo)÷a2-(y-yo)÷b2=1
therefore it gives you (x-xo)2-(y-yo)2=a2
the rectangular hyperbola opening to the left has polar equation like this r2=a2sec(2θ)
and the rectangular hyperbola opening in the first and third quadrants has cartesian equation
xy=a2
