22.3 Properties of the Inverse-Proportion Function
Point 6 of 6
22.3.6 Bigger |k|, Farther From the Origin
Core idea
As |k| grows, the whole hyperbola backs away outward from the origin, and as it shrinks the curve draws in closer.
Module goal. Read off increase/decrease behavior, symmetry, and the geometric meaning of k straight from the graph, matching each property to its picture.
