Find the vertical and horizontal asymptotes of the graph of the function $f(x)=\dfrac{2x}{x-1}:$

1. Vertical asymptote.

Since the denominator of the fraction is $x-1,$ then the vertical asymptote is $x=1,$ because the domain of the function is $x\neq 1.$

2. Horizontal asymptote.

Rewrite the function f(x):

$f(x)=\dfrac{2x}{x-1}=\dfrac{2x-2+2}{x-1}=\dfrac{2(x-1)+2}{x-1}=2+\dfrac{2}{x-1}.$

The horizontal asymptote has the equation $y=2.$

1. Slope intercept form. First find two points to get slope: (0,-3) and (-3,-4). Slope is
(-4 - -3)/(-3 - 0)= 1/3
Use one of the points of (x,y) to solve for b
Y=1/3x + b
-3 = 1/3(0) + b
-3 = b so your slope intercept equation is
Y = 1/3x - 3

2. Rate of Change is slope. Your points are (0,10) and (24,6) so slope is (6-10)/(24-0)
= - 1/6 which means that for each 1 unit increase in x, y decreases by 1/6.

3. Standard form is ax + by =c
Notice it is the same line as in the first graph so it's the same equation
y = 1/3x - 3
First, you cannot have fractions, so you have to multiply the equation by 3 to get rid of the 1/3.
3y= x - 9. Now move the x over:
-x + 3y = - 9. Now get rid of the negative value on x by multiplying the entire equation by -1:
x - 3y = 9

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The y- intercept is at (0, 6) ⇒ c = 6

The x- coordinate of the vertex is at the midpoint of the zeros, that is

m = $\frac{-3-1}{2}$ = $\frac{-4}{2}$ = - 2
