Graphing Rational Functions

What is the Horizontal Asymptote? 

• y= 5

• y= -6

• y= 1

• y= 5/-6

• x=3
• x=1
• x=-3
• x=-2

The horizontal asymptote equals zero when:

• the degree of the numerator and denominator are equal

• the degree of the numerator is less than the degree of the denominator

• the degree of the numerator is greater than the degree of the denominator

• the numerator equals zero
