Question 31377: I need to do this problem and cannot get how to do it. I need the vertical asymptotes, the horizontal asymptotes and the x and y-intercepts. The problem is f(x)=(x-3)/(x+2). I have to make the graph to go with it and have been reading the chapter over and over again and getting more confused.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
f(x)=(x-3)/(x+2)
To find the y intercept, set x = 0
To find the x intercept, set y = 0
y-intercept (0, -3/2)
x-intercept (3, 0)
asymtote
As x approaches -2, y approaches infinity
