Plz heeeeeeelp plz give me the answer

Which is a true statement comparing the graphs of x^2/6^2-y^2/8^2 = 1 and x^2/8^2-y^2/6^2 the foci of both graphs are the same points. the lengths of both transverse axes are the same. the directrices of = 1 are horizontal while the directrices of = 1 are vertical. the vertices of = 1 are on the y-axis while the vertices of = 1 are on the x-axis.

In order for the function to be linear, what must m be and why? m = 22 because the rate of change is 1. m = 20 because the rate of change is 3. m = 22 because the rate of change is -1. m = 20 because the rate of change is -3.
