Question Below
@theEric could you help me on this one?
Hello again! The assemptotes are lines that the curve will never cross! They are just those dotted lines. You don't need to find anything. But you do need to know how to see what the line \(y=\dfrac{5}{2}x\) is. Would you know how to plot that line, or do you know any information from the equation?
And sorry I took so long! I was in another question that I'm still looking at, but I cann look at these two questions at once.
Its okay thank you for helping! So 5/2 would be a point on the line?
Well that is like a line equation, \(y=m\ x+b\). \(\frac{5}{2}\) is multiplying the \(x\), and so \(\frac{5}{2}\) is the slope! So\[\frac{rise}{run}={5}{2}\]Have you heard of "rise over run"?
Yes, I have
\[m=\frac{ y2-y1 }{ x2-x1 }\]
I see! Well, the other way to think about it is that if you are on the line, you can go up 5 and right 2 to get back to the line.|dw:1376680512646:dw|Look for the picture with a slope of a line like that! Notice that it goes from bottom left to top right, and it's pretty steep!
Oooh, im seeing it in a new light! It would be A. If im not wrong
I agree! Congrats! :)
Thank you, would you mind helping me out in two more questions?
