Why do the graphs of inverse proportional functions never intersect with the X and Y axes? Since they never intersect, can they be said to be parallel?

y=k/x

k=xy

In the inverse proportional function, k≠0

So xy≠0

So neither x nor y is equal to 0

So it intersects the x-axis and y-axis

It is not parallel

Because parallel is for a straight line

The inverse proportional function is not a straight line, so it is not parallel
