ointslie very closely upon a straight line, we may assume the equa-tion y = Cx^. 139. Examples and exercises. The foregoing statements willbe better understood from the following illustrative examples andexercises. Example I. Find an equation which is satisfied by the following pairs ofvalues of x… … Fig. 114 the system y = Cj;, but with this difference; instead of approaching theX-axis as an asymptote, it apparently approaches the line ?/ = 1 as an asymp-tote. We therefore assume, as a trial equation, y — 1 — Cx. If the given 190 LOCI OP HIGHER ORDER [Chap. IX. values of x and y satisfy this…
