Are you working on both horizontal and vertical asymptotes? There may be two on this graph. Do you have the equation of the function?

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

No, I don't have the equation. But these are the answer choices: a. x=-3 b. y=-3 c y=3 d. x=y

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

Could y=3 be the answer?

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

@mathmate

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Yes, y=3 could be an answer. Do you choose one or more than one?

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

Just one.

OpenStudy (mathmate):

There are two correct answers. y=3 is one of them, unless you have only learned vertical asymptotes, i.e. you have not learned horizontal asymptotes.

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

I actually haven't learned about horizontal ones yet.

OpenStudy (mathmate):

So you have to find an asymptote which is vertical. The answer should be in the form of x=? See if you can locate it. You located the horizontal asymptote correctly, so it's the same idea. Give it a try.

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

I thought the answer should be x = 3, but that answer is not included in the choices.
