Question

Write the function in the form y= a/x-h +k. List the characteristics of the function. Explain how the graph of the function below transformfrom the graph of y=1/x. slove y= 2-6x/x-5​

Answer 1

y = (a/x) - (h/x) + k

Characteristics of the function:

y is in terms of x

y has a denominator of x

The function is an inverse function of y = (a/x) + (h/x) + k

The graph of the function is a mirror image of the graph of y = (a/x) + (h/x) + k

The graph of the function changes orientation when it crosses the y-axis

To transform the graph of y = 1/x into the graph of y = 2-6x/x-5, we can use the following steps:

1.Reflect the graph about the y-axis

2.Translate the graph up by 1 unit on the x-axis

3.Subtract 1 from the y-coordinate of every point on the graph

This results in the graph of y = 2-6x/x-5, which is a mirror image of the graph of y = 1/x.
