Hyperbola

Hyperbola asymptotic to the X and Y axis.
Think about it this way: when X is multiplied to Y, it always equals 5. That means if X is really big, Y needs to be really small, for it still to multiply out to 5. If X is 500, Y must be .01. The further out on the X axis you are, the smaller the Y value, meaning it will approach the X axis. And vice versa if Y value is large.

Hyperbola!
If you don't believe, then prove it by expressing y = f(x), or y = 5/x. Assign many points and you will know if my answer is correct or not!
