Answer:

  y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Any asymptotes of a rational function will be described by the quotient of the numerator and denominator (excluding any remainder).

  f(x)=\dfrac{-2x}{x+1}=-2+\dfrac{2}{x+1}

The horizontal asymptote is ...

Answer:

<h2> y = –2</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

f(x)=\frac{-2x}{x+1}

An asymptote refers to a restriction in the domain or range set of the function. This happens to rational functions, because there's a scenario where the function is undetermined: when its denominator is zero.

So, in this case, the value that makes the denominator zero is

x+1=0\\x=-1

That means, we need to restrict the domain for x=-1. But this is a vertical asymptote.

To find horizontal asymptotes, we need to find the restrictions for the range of the function, we do that isolating y.

y=\frac{-2x}{x+1}\\yx+y=-2x\\yx+2x=-y\\x(y+2)=-y\\x=-\frac{y}{y+2}

So, if we analyse the denominator

y+2=0\\y=-2

Therefore, the restriction is y=-2. In other words, the vertical asymptote is the first choice.
