Which rational function has a graph with the horizontal asymptote of y= -3

To have a horizontal asymptote of y=-3,

1. The term with the largest exponent of the variable in the numerator,
and the term with the largest exponent in the denominator must be
the same exponent.

2.  The coefficients of those two terms must have quotient -3.

Examples:



and



both have horizontal asymptotes y=-3
