I need to know how to slove this math problem..
1/y-4

Is this supposed to be an equation?
\frac 1y -4= 0\,??
if so, add 4 to both sides
\frac 1y = 4
multiply both sides by y and divide both sides by 4
\frac 14 = y

Or perhaps
\frac{1}{y-4} = 0
Then,
y-4=0
and
y=4
EDIT : this is to find the asymptote of the graph

Be careful, Unknown. No division by 0. This has no solutions.

Oh, silly me... y=4 refers to the asymptote of the graph

It doesn't matter anyway because I doubt if the poster comes back.
