How do you find the asymptotes for #(x-3)/(x-2)#?

Vertical asymptotes occur when the denominator of the
rational function is #0#.

In this question this would occur when #x - 2 = 0# i.e, #x = 2#

[ Horizontal asymptotes can be found when the degree of the

numerator and the degree of the denominator are equal. ]

Here they are both of degree #1# and so are equal.

The horizontal asymptote is found by taking the ratio of leading

coefficients .

hence y# =1/1 = 1 #
