The given equation $\frac{x^2}{81} - \frac{y^2}{36} = 1$ represents a hyperbola that opens left and right, not up and down, because the positive term is associated with $x^2$.

Provide an Appropriate Response x281−y236=1 opens up and down. \frac { x ^ { 2 } } { 81 } - \frac { y ^ { 2 } } { 36 } = 1 \text { opens up and down. }81x2​−36y2​=1 opens up and down.
