Answer

$x=3$ is not a vertical asymptote but the $x$-value where the hole of the graph is located.

Work Step by Step

Given $$h(x)=\frac{6-2x}{3-x}$$ Rewrite the numerator: $$h(x)=\frac{2(3-x)}{3-x}$$ $$h(x)=2\text{, where } x\not=3$$ Equating $3-x=0$, $$x=3$$ Thus, the error is $x=3$ is not a vertical asymptote but the $x$-value where the hole of the graph is located.
