You can put this solution on YOUR website!
h%28x%29=%282x%2B6%29%2F%287x%2B10%29
If we look at the behavior of the graph as x goes to infinity,
you can see that h(x) goes to 2/7 because x/x becomes 1.
As an example, at x=10000, h(x)=20006/70010.
Similarly when x goes to -infinity,
you can see that h(x) goes to 2/7 since -x/-x becomes 1.
A horizontal asymptote exists at y=2/7.
Additionally, there is an undefined point when the denominator equals zero.
7x%2B10=0
x=-10%2F7
A vertical asymptote exists at x=-10/7 to mark this undefined point.
