OpenStudy (mertsj):

Well, I see that x cannot be 2. Do you see that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (mertsj):

So that means that x=2 is a vertical asymptote.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Also I see that y can never be -3. Do you see that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Well then, y = -3 must be a horizontal asymptote.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it's x-2, y=-3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or x=2,y=-3

OpenStudy (mertsj):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which one

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Did you notice that the question said identify the asymptoteS of the graph? That is plural. That means more than one. There are two asymptotes. One is vertical and the other is horizontal.
