5xy+4=9 is the problem, right?

5xy+4=9. Now subtract the 4 from both sides. 5xy=5. Ok, then, that looks less scary. Now, divide both sides by 5, to get xy=1. Hmm, a lot simpler. Now, divide both sides by x to get y by itself. So, y=1/x. Alright. That's your line! No, its not a straight line. There is a vertical asymptote where x=0, and the two segments aren't straight. But that's a simpler form of the equation. Hope that helped!
