    -4x² + y² - 10y - 11 = 0

    (y²-10y) - 4x² = 11

    (y²-10y+5²) - 4x² = 5²+11

    (y-5)² - 4x² = 36

    (y-5)²/36 - x²/9 = 1

    (y-5)²/6² - x²/3² = 1

    This is a vertical hyperbola.

    Center-radius equation for vertical hyperbola:

     (y-k)²/a² - (x-k)²/b² = 1

    with

     center (h,k)

     vertices (h,k±a)

     co-vertices (h±b,k)

     asymptotes y = ±(a/b)x + k∓(a/b)h

    Apply your equation.

    h = 0

    k = 5

    vertices (0,5±6) = (0,11) and (0,-1)

    co-vertices (0±3,5) = (3,5) and (-3,5)

    asymptotes

     y = ±(6/3)x + 5∓(6/3)0 = 2x + 5

     y = -2x + 5
