High School Math Help Word Problem Precalculus

The frequency of a sound wave is called its pitch. The pitch p of a musical tone and its wavelength w are related by the equation p=v/w, where v is the velocity of sound through air. Suppose a sound wave has a velocity of 1056 feet/second.

a.) Graph the equation p=v/w. What lines are close to the maximum values for the pitch and the wavelength?

b.) What happens to the pitch of the tone as the wavelength decreases?

c.) If the wavelength is doubled, what happens to the pitch of the tone?

Would the equation I put into the calculator be y=1056/x? Sorry, I am confused with this question because there line seems to be getting closer to zero, but I don't think that would really make sense because I dont think the pitch, wavelength, or velocity should be decreasing? If anyone could help me answer these questions, that would be very much appreciated. Thank you so much.
