Solve for x or y or 1
solving for y
divide both sides by x
y=25/x
not a line because x has t ohave exponent of 1, this one is y=25x^-1
ok, solve for something else
solve for 1
xy/25=1
this doesn't fit into the standard forms of any of the conic sections
if we were to subsitute points we would see it is a hyperbola that is diagonal with the x and y axises as assemtots
it is a hyperbola

Answer: 3</h3>
Explanation:
Refer to the graph below. It should be similar to what your teacher gave you, based off the description.
Since we're approaching 3 from the right side, this means we'll be working with the horizontal line portion. We could start at something like x = 3.2 and move closer to 3 by getting to x = 3.1 then x = 3.01 then x = 3.001 and so on. We never actually get to 3 itself.
As x gets closer to 3 from this direction, the y values are approaching 3 since every point on this horizontal line has the same y coordinate. Technically the y value is already at 3, but it's the same idea.
In terms of notation, we can write 
The portion
means we're approaching 3 from the positive side, aka the right hand side on the number line.
