Answer:
- vertical asymptote: x = 7
- slant asymptote: y = x+9
Step-by-step explanation:
The vertical asymptotes are found where a denominator factor is zero (and there is no corresponding numerator factor to cancel it). Here, that is at x = 7.
There is no horizontal asymptote because the numerator is of higher degree than the denominator.
When you divide the numerator by the denominator, you get ...
y = (x +9) +60/(x -7)
Then when x gets large, the behavior is governed by the terms not having a denominator: y = x +9. This is the equation of the slant asymptote.
