write a translation of y=-5/x that has the asymptotes x=-1 & y=6.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

denominator must be \[x+1\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for this to have horizontal asymptote \[y=6\] you must have the degree of denominator = degree of the numerator and the ratio of leading coefficients must be 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh wait. ok "translation" sorry. i bet lagrange will have it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i will be quiet and watch.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok fine. we go to the left 1 and up 6. starting with \[y=\frac{-5}{x}\] left 1 gives \[y=\frac{5}{x+1}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok fine. we go to the left 1 and up 6. starting with \[y=\frac{-5}{x}\] left 1 gives \[y=\frac{5}{x+1}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the up 6 so write \[y=\frac{-5}{x+1}+6\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can add if you like. if you do you get \[y=\frac{6x+1}{x+1}\]
