For the logarithmic function , the vertical asymptote is x=0. So a vertical asymptote at x=2 means the function is shifted 2 to the right.

So the function is .

To find the constant multiplier a, substitute the coordinates of the x-intercept:





That says a can be any constant.

Here is a graph of a*log(x-2) with 3 values of a -- 1 (red), 3 (green), and -2(blue).
