Question

y=\frac{x-a}{b}\ \{for}\ a

Answer 1

what does a equal

Answer 2

y=\frac{x-a}{b}\ \operatorname{for}\ a

Answer 3

To find the equation of the vertical asymptote, we set the denominator equal to zero and solve for x:

b = 0

Since b cannot equal zero (as it would result in division by zero), there is no vertical asymptote for this equation.

Answer 4

The value of "a" does not affect the presence or absence of vertical asymptotes in this equation. It solely determines the vertical shift of the graph.

Answer 5

In the equation y = (x - a)/b, "a" represents the horizontal shift of the graph. It determines how the graph is translated horizontally. Specifically, when x = a, the function will have a y-intercept at that point.
