You can put this solution on YOUR website! Draw graphs of y = 6/x and y = 12/x.
.
We ordinarily make a list of points for the first equation, but...
First, notice that x <> 0, but it can be a negative number of a positive number.
Second, the larger the value of x, the smaller the value of 6/x.
This means that when x < 1, say .01, then y will get very large.
These two facts tell us that this is not a linear equation at all.
It has a curve.
.
Likewise the second equation acts the same way, but at a different rate because the denominator is 12 instead of 6.

The following graph shows y=6/x in red and y=12/x in green.
