7 and 8 because the square root is 7.874
Answer:
zero slope
y-intercept at y = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
-4y = 16 (divide both sides by -4)
y = 16 / (-4)
y = -4
y = -4 represents a horizontal line that is parallel to the x-axis that crosses the y-axis at y = -4
hence the slope of a horizontal line is zero, and the y-intercept is -4
So here are the rules of horizontal asymptotes:
- Degree of Numerator > Degree of Denominator: No horizontal asymptote
- Degree of Numerator = Degree of Denominator:

- Degree of Numerator < Degree of Denominator: y = 0
Looking at the rational function, since the degree of the numerator is 2 and the degree of the denominator is 1 (and 2 > 1), this means that <u>this function has no horizontal asymptote.</u>
