Answer:
find the value of x that makes the denominator zero: x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
A vertical asymptote shows up where the denominator is zero. As the denominator gets closer to zero, the function value gets larger without bound (unless there is a numerator factor that cancels the one in the denominator).
To find the value of x at the vertical asymptote, solve the equation ...
denominator = 0
x - 7 = 0
x = 7 . . . . . . . add 7 to both sides
Corresponding measures have the same ratio.
.. (x -1)/4 = (2x +1)/10
.. 5(x -1) = 2(2x +1) . . . . . . multiply by 20
.. 5x -5 = 4x +2 . . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses
.. x = 7 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 5 -4x
x = 7
Answer:
slope = 
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the slope m using the slope formula
m = 
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 8, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, 6) ← 2 points on the line
m = 
= 
=
