Hello!

The two types of asymptotes you can find from a rational function are vertical and horizontal asymptotes.

Vertical asymptotes are determined by setting the denominator of a rational function to zero and then by solving for x.

Horizontal asymptotes are determined by:

1. If the degree of the numerator < degree of denominator, then the line, y = 0 is the horizontal asymptote.

2. If the degree of the numerator = degree of denominator, then y = leading coefficient of numerator / leading coefficient of denominator is the horizontal asymptote.

3. If degree of numerator > degree of denominator, then there is an oblique asymptote, but no horizontal asymptote.

Hopefully this makes sense! (I had to bring out my math notes, my handwriting is actually disgusting.)

How will you know whether a solution is a percent increase or a percent decrease?

Step-by-step explanation:

First, work out the difference (decrease) between the two numbers you are comparing. Next, divide the decrease by the original number and multiply the answer by 100. If the answer is a negative number, this is a percentage increase.

Given the graph above find an equation for the graph and write your anwser in slope intercept form

lys-0071 [83]

Given:

Given that the graph of a linear function.

We need to determine the equation of the graph in slope intercept form.

Slope:

Consider any two coordinates from the equation of the line to determine the slope.

Let the two coordinates are (-4,3) and (4,-1)

The slope can be determined using the formula,

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$
