HELP! Already Answered! Am I WRONG?

hero (hero):

Hold on a minute please

hero (hero):

Sorry, but D is not correct

hero (hero):

Apparently the clue to finding the asymptotes is the vertices of that given rectangle.

hero (hero):

(3,1), (3,-1), (-3,1)(-3,-1)

hero (hero):

Are you still there?

hero (hero):

Yes, it is A or B, but you need to figure out which one it is.

hero (hero):

You're guessing

hero (hero):

Sadly, all I've done now is give you the answer.

hero (hero):

It's not A

hero (hero):

You did not properly figure out which one it is.

hero (hero):

Do you see x and y in the given answer choices? Insert the points into it and make sure both sides are equal.

hero (hero):

That's only one of the vertices

hero (hero):

You need to test ALL four

hero (hero):

That's how you figure out which asymptote is correct.

hero (hero):

Anyway, I'm kinda sad that you guessed on this. First, you guessed D (which you shouldn't have), then you guessed A (which you definitely shouldn't have). You're not supposed to be guessing on these. I just told you how to test them. Insert the points into the graphs of the asymptotes.

hero (hero):

You don't have to graph anything.

hero (hero):

The vertices of the rectangle are the points that you check. Does that make any sense to you?

hero (hero):

You're testing the VERTICES of the rectangle. Why do you make me repeat myself?

hero (hero):

Do you know what vertices are? If you don't please go back to geometry.

hero (hero):

No, not maybe

hero (hero):

If that's true, you're only going to frustrate people when they try to explain stuff to you.

hero (hero):

You have to have some level of competency in order to understand this stuff. Not everyone is going to just give you the answer.

hero (hero):

I never said anyone was a loser. I'm just saying, try harder

hero (hero):

It's not difficult to understand. For example, it's not extremely impossible to understand what vertices of a rectangle are. Additionally, it's not extremely difficult to understand how to plug the coordinates of points into a formula.

hero (hero):

Which that was all I was trying to tell you to do.

hero (hero):

idiocy* is the correct spelling, by the way, but I can understand where you're coming from in that sense.

hero (hero):

You should go back to the classroom.

hero (hero):

Oh but there are. There are plenty classrooms all over the country.

hero (hero):

Pick one

hero (hero):

Classrooms is plural, not singular.

hero (hero):

There ARE plenty of classrooms all over the country.

hero (hero):

Make sure you invest some time in studying. I suggest Khan Academy or Patrick JMT on YouTube.

hero (hero):

I get the feeling @jada1701877 is enjoying this.
