Graph the functions and identify the vertical asymptote. Please help and explain so I can do it myself?

Question

anonymous · Answer

1. y = 1 / x - 4   minus 2

anonymous · Answer

2. y = 1 / x + 2    plus 4

anonymous · Answer

just get the equations to the form x/a + y/b =1 and try to get the value of b. It will be the vertical asymptote I hope.

anonymous · Answer

Oh, okay! Could you walk me through it as I do it?

hmmmm....
Ok, for this the graph would look like this.

The vertical asmyptote is located at x=4
The horizontal asmyptote is located at y=-2
