y


A coordinate system has a horizontal x-axis labeled from negative 5 to 5 in increments of 1 and a vertical y-axis labeled from negative 5 to 5 in increments of 1. A curve has the x-axis as an asymptote. As x increases, the curve falls from infinity, passes through the point (0, 1), and continues to fall toward the x-axis. As x increases, the curve falls more and more slowly.

A coordinate system has a horizontal x-axis labeled from negative 5 to 5 in increments of 1 and a vertical y-axis labeled from negative 5 to 5 in increments of 1. A curve has the x-axis as an asymptote. As x increases, the curve rises from just above the x-axis, passes through the point (0, 1), and continues to rise toward infinity. As x increases, the curve rises more and more quickly.

A curve has the y-axis as an asymptote. As x increases from 0, the curve falls from infinity, passes through the point (1, 0), and continues to fall toward negative infinity. As x increases, the curve falls more and more slowly.
