Linear to reciprocal.

  1. Find the x intercept. this becomes your VA.
  2. Find invariant points. these are when 1 = 1, and 1 = -1.
  3. As y gets larger, reciprocal gets smaller. As y gets smaller, reciprocal gets larger.

High Low

(7,10) (7,1/10) (-3.1,-0.1) (-3.1, -10) Higher Y values become lower X values, in a reciprocal function Lower Y values become higher Y values in a reciprocal function

Negative/Positive Reciprocal Function

Note that a positive reciprocal. P(x)/Q(x) looks like this: A negative looks like this:
