Need help with an asymptote problem. I'm attaching the problem below.

The vertical asymptote is the value of x where you would be dividing by 0. Horizontal asymptotes are: \[\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty+} f(x)\] and \[\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty-} f(x)\] However, the limits are both infinite. So, no horizontal asymptotes...to my understanding.

if you were going to write this in y=mx+b format how would you do it?

Your vertical asymptote would be x=c where c is the value of x that would make the function divide by 0. The horizontal....indeterminate because infinity is not a number. The diagonal asymptote, well...I have never run into this sort of thing.
