A line is represented by an equation. Each solution of the equation is a point on the line, and each point on the line is a solution to the equation. So the line is just the graph of the solution set of the equation.
An oblique asymptote is another way of saying "slant asymptote."When the degree of the numerator is one greater than the denominator, an equation has a slant asymptote. You divide the numerator by the denominator, and get a value. Sometimes, the division pops out a remainder, but ignore that, and take the answer minus the remainder. Make your "adapted answer" equal to yand that is your asymptote equation. To graph the equation, plug values.
On my graphing calculator, a TI84 Plus, I can enter the equation into the Y= (a button) and then graph it by hitting the Graph button.
You can graph an equation or an inequality but you cannot graph an expression.
Substitute y = mx + b into the equation and then use the fact that there must a double root (at infinity)
7/12 and 7/12 is the answer
When you graph a tangent function, the asymptotes represent x values 90 and 270.

They are called asymptotes.
finding vertical asymptotes is easy. lets use the equation y = (2x-2)/((x^2)-2x-3) since its a rational equation, all we have to do to find the vertical asymptotes is find the values at which the denominator would be equal to 0. since this makes it an undefined equation, that is where the asymptotes are. for this equation, -1 and 3 are the answers for the vertical ayspmtotes. the horizontal asymptotes are a lot more tricky. to solve them, simplify the equation if it is in factored form, then divide all terms both in the numerator and denominator with the term with the highest degree. so the horizontal asymptote of this equation is 0.
When you plot a function with asymptotes, you know that the graph cannot cross the asymptotes, because the function cannot be valid at the asymptote. (Since that is the point of having an asymptotes - it is a "disconnect" where the function is not valid - e.g when dividing by zero or something equally strange would occur). So if you graph is crossing an asymptote at any point, something's gone wrong.
If the equation of a hyperbola is ( x² / a² ) - ( y² / b² ) = 1, then the joint of equation of its Asymptotes is ( x² / a² ) - ( y² / b² ) = 0. Note that these two equations differ only in the constant term. ____________________________________________ Happy To Help ! ____________________________________________
Asymptotes occur in places where the equation is not valid E.g the equation (1-2x)/x is not valid when x=0 (otherwise you'd be dividing by zero, which is not allowed). Thus there is a asymptote along the x-axis. If you have an equation in a similar form to the one above (i.e a/b) , look at the denominator (b) and work out where it is not valid. This is generally the easiest method of finding asymptotes. Other ways include "trial and error" - subbing in numbers and finding the place where it becomes mathematically impossible to have the equation running along that point. Sometimes it is easier to sub a few numbers into the equation to begin with, and draw a sketch of where you think it goes. This should highlight areas /how many asymptotes to expect; after that you just have to find out exact locations.
denominators
You find the equation of a graph by finding an equation with a graph.
In the same coordinate space, i.e. on the same set of axes: -- Graph the first equation. -- Graph the second equation. -- Graph the third equation. . . -- Rinse and repeat for each equation in the system. -- Visually examine the graphs to find the points (2-dimension graph) or lines (3-dimension graph) where all of the individual graphs intersect. Since those points or lines lie on the graph of each individual graph, they are the solution to the entire system of equations.
Press Window and scroll down to Xres. Change it to 2. Then press GRAPH. If the asymptotes still do not appear, increase the Xres number by one until they do. (It cannot go higher than eight.)
