Question

can someone help me with graphing the function?

Answer 1

xy+5=0

Answer 2

sketch the graph of the function

Answer 4

First you need the form y=mx+b...this is the easiest way to do this...
for x-y=5:
y=-x+5
for y-x=0:
y=x+0

in y=mx+b, m is your slope and b is your y intercept...

Answer 5

So when you are graphing these...use your slope and intercept to graph.
Start with your intercept. 5 is your first one. and 0 is your second one.
(0,5) (0,0)
Then use your slope...
y=-x+5 has a slope of -1 (your coefficient of x) which is the same as -1/1, so you use rise over run...
however in this case you have a negative slope, so instead of going up one, right one...
you will go DOWN one, right one.

Answer 7

First solve for y

xy+5=0

xy+5-5=-5

xy = -5

xy/x = -5/x

y = -5/x

Answer 8

Once you have y = -5/x, you plug in any value of x you want (except for x = 0) to get corresponding values of y. Then you will plot the points you get. Draw a curve through the points and keep in mind of the asymptotes
