22.2.2 What a Hyperbola Looks Like

22.2 Drawing the Inverse-Proportion Graph

Point 2 of 5

Core idea

The graph is two separate curving lines, called a hyperbola, not joined into one piece the way a straight line is.

Module goal. Plot the hyperbola point by point and get to know its shape: two separate branches that never touch the axes.
