SOLUTION: Write the equation for the translation of y= 7/x that has asymptotes at x=-3 and y = 1

Question 1116275: Write the equation for the translation of y= 7/x that has asymptotes at x=-3 and y = 1

The given function has a vertical asymptote at x=0, because x=0 makes the denominator 0, which is not allowed. To have the vertical asymptote at x=-3, the denominator has to be x-(-3), or x+3.

So the function has the vertical asymptote at x = -3.

The new function has a horizontal asymptote at y=0; to get the horizontal asymptote at y=1 you need to add 1 to the function.

The function has a vertical asymptote at x=3 and a horizontal asymptote are y=1.

The original function is translated 3 units left and 1 unit up.
