Answer

$f(x)=\frac{-3x+6}{x-1}$

Work Step by Step

Step 1. Identify $x=1$ as a vertical asymptote, $y=-3$ as a horizontal asymptote. Step 2. we can write a possible rational function as $f(x)=\frac{-3x+b}{x-1}$ Step 3. There is no x-intercept and the y-intercept is $f(0)=-6$, thus $\frac{-3(0)+b}{(0)-1}=-6$ and $b=6$ Step 4. The function is $f(x)=\frac{-3x+6}{x-1}$
