Answer:
x= -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Rational Function can be expressed as:
Where b is our horizontal shift and q is our vertical shift.
For asymptotes, there are two types which are vertical and horizontal.
Vertical Asymtote is the value of -b itself or x = -b.
Therefore, from the functio:
Our vertical asymtote is x = -2
Okay, take a look at diagram 1 (I know it's rubbish I did it on paint :D), this shows all the information you've given in the question. The two coordinates and the distance between them.
Now if we draw additional lines on this diagram, we can make a right-angled triangle (this is on diagram 2). We can also work out the lengths of the additional sides because we know both coordinates at the end-points of the additional lines.
Finally because this is a right-angled triangle, Pythagoras' theorem must apply to its sides meaning
therefore x=5.
