Look for a value for x which makes the rational expression impossible and for which the factor in denominator is not also in the numerator.

Your rational expression has no common factor between numerator and denominator, so you just need to focus on what makes the rational expression undefined:

5x-7%3C%3E0

x%3C%3E7%2F5----------vertical asymptote is x=7%2F5.
