It's a thing that doesn't exist. It's a limiting behavior.

what????? this is a math question....

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Yes, it is a math question. The definition we do NOT want is usually, "Something that a graph never crosses." This is false. It is a limiting behavior of a graph in some sense. Not all asymptotes are created equal.
