How do I determine the restricted values in this expression?
1 answer:
A restricted value is a value that will make the fraction undefined, and thus will make it impossible to exist.
Restricted values can exist in two forms: asymptotes and holes.
By simplifying all sides of this expression, we can find the restricted values.
After finding factors, and then cancelling like factors, keeping in mind the original factors in the denominator, we can find three restrictions:
1, 2, and -2.

You can plot a linear equation, if you are given the coordinates and the slope for THE SAME line.
Assuming you have those, the first step is to find the y-intercept.
That is done by replacing and
in the general formula by their coordinated counterparts, and replacing
by the slope that is given to you.
Let's assume the coordinates you are given are , and the slope you are given is 1.
By substituting into the general formula...
...we can see that it is possible to find the y-intercept ().
Knowing the y-intercept, it is possible to plot the line and solve any question.
I'll leave a picture of the example used above when graphed.
