Welcome to graphing rational equations! We have already looked at inverse variation and the reciprocal function with it's shifts in the coordinate plane. Now we are looking at rational equations more generally. Follow along with this series of videos on this worksheet.
You can use the following widget to check your vertical and horizontal asymptotes. You can only check one and a time and may need to take a few minutes to study and interpret the results. Use the graph to help you.
Try this widget to check your x intercept. As a bonus, it will also report the y intercept.
That's all for this section. Try the problems on the back of your worksheet and then go on to Graphing Rational Equations Part 2 next! To check your answers, you can use the widget below.
