Algebra.Com's Answer #294820 by htmentor(1343) You can put this solution on YOUR website! Generate a table of (x,y) pairs: \n" ); document.write( "y = 10/x \n" ); document.write( "x y \n" ); document.write( "--------- \n" ); document.write( "-20 -0.5 \n" ); document.write( "-10 -1 \n" ); document.write( " -5 -2 \n" ); document.write( "-2.5 -4 \n" ); document.write( " -1 -10 \n" ); document.write( "-0.5 -20 \n" ); document.write( " 0.5 20 \n" ); document.write( " 1 10 \n" ); document.write( " 2.5 4 \n" ); document.write( " 5 2 \n" ); document.write( " 10 1 \n" ); document.write( " 20 0.5\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The graph looks like this:\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " |
