Find the vertical asymptote. y = x - 1 / x + 4

x = - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y =

The denominator of y cannot be zero as this would make y undefined.

Equating the denominator to zero and solving gives the value that x cannot be and if the numerator is non zero for this value then it is a vertical asymptote.

x + 4 = 0 ⇒ x = - 4

Thus the vertical asymptote is x = - 4

graphically?   well, you graph them both, the solutions is where they both intersect each other, since there are two solutions, meaning they will meet twice, or namely the linear will run into the quadratic curve twice, and where they meet, those x,y coordinates are the solutions to the system.
