y= 1/x
I'm not sure what you want. This is a hyperbolic function.
If you need to graph this, plot some points.
There is a vertical asymptote at x=0, because the funciton is undefined when the denominator = 0.
There is a horizontal asymptote at y=0 because there is nothing we can do to make the function =0.
Plot two points on both sides of the vertical asymptote:
Let x=-1
y=1/-1=-1 Plot (-1,-1)
Let x=-2
y=1/-2 Plot(-2,-1/2)
Let x=1
y=1/1=1 Plot(1,1)
Let x=2
y=1/2 Plot (1,1/2)
The graph will look like this:

Happy Calculating!!!
