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

Question

anonymous · Answer

denominator must be 
$$x+1$$

anonymous · Answer

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

anonymous · Answer

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

anonymous · Answer

i will be quiet and watch.

anonymous · Answer

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

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

anonymous · Answer

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

anonymous · Answer

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