22.4.3 Which One Is On Top

Core idea

To compare whether k/x or ax+b is larger, just see which curve is drawn higher up, and read off the interval.

Module goal. Place a line and a hyperbola in the same coordinate system to study their intersections, enclosed areas, and which graph sits above the other.
