#y=3#
#x=0#

Explanation:

I tend to think of this function as a transformation of the function #f(x)=1/x#, which has a horizontal asymptote at #y=0# and a vertical asymptote at #x=0#.

The general form of this equation is #f(x)=a/(x-h)+k#.

In this transformation, #h=0# and #k=3#, so the vertical asymptote is not shifted left or right, and the horizontal asymptote is shifted up three units to #y=3#.
