Asymptote

Description:

An asymptote is a straight line that a curve approaches but never reaches in a mathematical function or graph.

Examples:

• The hyperbola has two asymptotes, each approaching the curve in opposite directions.
• In the equation y = 1/x, the x-axis serves as an asymptote for the graph.
