Question

After you graph a slanted asymptote, do you make a point on where it crosses in the x axis?

Answer 1

depends on how you are sketching the line ....

Answer 2

a sketch simply has at least a minimal amount of information to avoid ambiguity

2 defined reference points and the line between them are required

Answer 3

in many textbook cases, the 2 points are easily defined as the y and x intercepts

Answer 4

for example: take the line y=4x+ 3

when x=0, y=3
when x=-3/4, y=0

Answer 5

but any 2 points of reference work:

y = 4x + 3

when x=0, y=3
when x=1, y=7

Answer 6

the tic on the x axis is not needed, but more information is not bad ... its less information that gets us in trouble
