Answer

The vertical asymptote is the line $x=3$. The horizontal asymptote is the line $y=-5$.

Work Step by Step

Given: $\frac{-1}{x-3}-5$ $x-3=0$ $x=3$ The vertical asymptote is the line $x=3$. The horizontal asymptote is the line $y=-5$. Make a list of values: $x=-3 \rightarrow y=\frac{1}{6}$ $x=0 \rightarrow y=-\frac{14}{3}$ $x=1\rightarrow y=-\frac{9}{2}$ $x=3\rightarrow y=-5$
