Y=0 is the asymptote, and happy birthday
solve for "y" so it is in the form y = mx + b. "m" is the slope and "b" is the y-intercept.
ax + by = c
by = -ax + c <em>subtracted "ax" from both sides</em>
y = (-a/b)x + c/b <em>divided both sides by "b"</em>
Answer: slope is -a/b and y-intercept is c/b
Step-by-step explanation:
As <em>x</em> approaches -1 from the left, the graph of <em>f(x)</em> leads you to the point (-1, 3), so the limit from the left is 3.
As <em>x</em> approaches -1 from the right, the graph leads to the point (-1, -3), so the limit from the right is -3.
The one-sided limits do not match, so the two-sided limit does not exist.
But <em>f(x)</em> is still defined at <em>x</em> = -1; this is indicated by the point (-1, -1). So <em>f</em> (-1) = -1.
