Inverse Proportion Graphing Tool
Free interactive y = k/x graphing tool. Change k to explore hyperbola branches and asymptotes for class or self-study.
The graph of y = k/x is a hyperbola. The sign of k picks the quadrants; |k| controls distance from the origin. Dragging k makes asymptotes intuitive.
How it works
- Open the inverse-proportion scene.
- Flip k from positive to negative to switch quadrants.
- Increase |k| and watch the curve move outward.
- Emphasize that axes are asymptotes and the graph never hits the origin.
Classroom example
Show k > 0 in quadrants I & III, then switch to k < 0. Ask why the curve never reaches the axes.
