Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

a) (– 3, –2) and (–3, 4)

First you want to find the slope of the line that passes through these points. To find the slope of the line, we use the slope formula: (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

Plug in these values:

(4 - (-2) / (-3 - (-3))

Simplify the parentheses.

= (4 + 2) / (-3 + 3)

Simplify the fraction.

(6) / (0)

= undefined

If your slope is undefined, it is a vertical line. The equation of a vertical line is x = #.

In this case, the x-coordinate for both points is -3.

Therefore, your equation is x = -3.

b) (3, 2) and (–4, –5)

First you want to find the slope of the line that passes through these points. To find the slope of the line, we use the slope formula: (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

Plug in these values:

(-5 - 2) / (-4 - 3)

Simplify the parentheses.

= (-7) / (-7)

Simplify the fraction.

-7/-7

= 1

This is your slope. Plug this value into the standard slope-intercept equation of y = mx + b.

y = 1x + b or y = x + b

To find b, we want to plug in a value that we know is on this line: in this case, I will use the first point (3, 2). Plug in the x and y values into the x and y of the standard equation.

2 = 1(3) + b

To find b, multiply the slope and the input of x(3)

2 = 3 + b

Now, subtract 3 from both sides to isolate b.

-1 = b

Plug this into your standard equation.

y = x - 1

This is your equation.

Check this by plugging in the other point you have not checked yet (-4, -5).

y = 1x - 1

-5 = 1(-4) - 1

-5 = -4 - 1

-5 = -5

Your equation is correct.

Hope this helps!

Answer:  (B) 7 left and 8 up

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

f(x)=\dfrac{1}{x-2}+1\qquad \rightarrow\quad \text{Asymptotes: x = 2, y = 1}\\\\g(x) = \dfrac{1}{x+5}+9\qquad \rightarrow\quad \text{Asymptotes: x = -5, y = 9}\\\\\text{The vertical asymptote shifted to the left 7 units.}\\\text{The horizontal asymptote shifted up 8 units.}\\
