Answer 2

Hint:
A vertical asymptote occurs when the denominator of a rational function becomes zero.

Answer 3

ok so 0 because its a negative

Answer 5

Negative or not, a zero in the denominator makes x=0 an asymptote.
The negative sign will affect the shape of the graph as x approaches zero from the negative side, and from the positive side.

To give you an idea, I will sketch the graph of y=-1/(x-1) which has an asymptote at x=1 (i.e. x-1=0)
