Question 355177: How do i solve this word problem?
The parent function y=1/x is translated such that its horizontal asymptote is y=-4 and its vertical asymptote is x=2.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The vertical asymptotes occurs when the denominator equals zero.
The current function has a horizontal asymptote at y=0.

y=1%2F%28x-2%29-4 would accomplish both challenges.
y=1%2F%28x-2%29-4%28%28x-2%29%2F%28x-2%29%29
y=%281-4x%2B8%29%2F%28x-2%29
highlight%28y=%289-4x%29%2F%28x-2%29%29
