Linear AsymptotesLines in which a graph of a function will approach.
Vertical AsymptoteA vertical asymptote exists for any value of x that makes the denominator zero AND is not a value that makes the numerator zero.
Example

𝑓 (𝑥 )=𝑥2−16𝑥+5
¿(𝑥−4 )(𝑥+4)
𝑥+5 x=−5
A vertical asymptotes exists at x = -5. VA:

¿(𝑥+2)(𝑥−3)(𝑥−4 )(𝑥−3) x=3 ,4
A vertical asymptote exists at x = 4. VA:
A vertical asymptote does not exist at x = 3 as it is a value that also makes the numerator zero.
A hole exists in the graph at x = 3.

Horizontal AsymptoteA horizontal asymptote exists if the largest exponents in the numerator and the denominator are equal,
Section 5.2 – Properties of Rational FunctionsAsymptotes
If the largest exponent in the denominator is larger than the largest exponent in the numerator, then the horizontal asymptote is .
If the largest exponent in the denominator is equal to the largest exponent in the numerator, then the horizontal asymptote is equal to the ratio of the coefficients.
orif the largest exponent in the denominator is larger than the largest exponent in the numerator.

Oblique (slant) AsymptoteAn oblique asymptote exists if the largest exponent in the numerator is one degree larger than the largest exponent in the denominator.

Other non-linear asymptotes can exist for a rational function.
