Answer

$$ y =\frac{x^{2}+7 x+12}{x+4} $$ There are no asymptotes, but there is a hole at $x=-4$. $x$-intercept: $-3$ the value when $y= 0$. $y$-intercept: $3$ the value when $x= 0$.

Work Step by Step

$$ y =\frac{x^{2}+7 x+12}{x+4} $$ To find a asymptote let $$ \begin{aligned} y &=\frac{x^{2}+7 x+12}{x+4} \\ &=\frac{(x+3)(x+4)}{x+4} \\ &=x+3, x \neq-4 \end{aligned} $$ There are no asymptotes, but there is a hole at $x=-4$. $x$-intercept: $-3$ the value when $y= 0$. $y$-intercept: $3$ the value when $x= 0$.
