Question

Which is the graph of the parent reciprocal?

Answer 1

if we are graphing by

`f (x) = (1)/(x)`
then we can simply plug in several values for x to see what we get

i.e. if we put in 1, we get 1
2, we get 1/2
5, we get 1/5
from this, we can already see that only one graph matches these coordinates

the 4th graph is your answer

Answer 2

The line currently showing is y = x

The reciprocal graph is y =
`(1)/(x)`

y =
`(1)/(x)` has asymptotes at x = 0 and y = 0
