The curve y = 1/x, for x > 0, is of special interest to us; it is located above the x-axis in the first quadrant of the x, y plane and it is seen to be symmetric with respect to the line y = x (because the equation xy = 1 remains unchanged when x and y are interchanged). See Figure 1.1 for a display of the curve under consideration.
