Explanation & Answer

Thank you for the opportunity to help you with your question!

We have the function as

As the function is a rational function therefore

for the vertical asymptote put the denominator=0

6x+9=0

x=-3/2 --->vertical asymptote

No horizontal asymptote as the degree of the numerator expression is  not equal to denominator expression.

Oblique asymptote:Divide using long synthetic divison and the quotient of the expression will give the oblique asymptote.

On dividing the oblique asymptote ,y=2x/3  -->oblique asymptote.

The two points lying on the graph are  (0,-2/3) and (3,16/9)
