SOLUTION: How would you convert the equation f(x)=(x-3)/(x-2) so that you would be able to find the asymptotes of the graph? I understand that the answer is 1-(1/(x-2)), but I need the steps

Question 448405: How would you convert the equation f(x)=(x-3)/(x-2) so that you would be able to find the asymptotes of the graph? I understand that the answer is 1-(1/(x-2)), but I need the steps if possible. Answer by edjones(8007) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! There is a vertical asymptote at x=2 because there would be division by zero which is not allowed.
There is a horizontal asymptote at y=1 because the statement in the numerator and the statement in the denominator have the same degree (first degree).
