The function is given to be:


f\left(x\right)=-4\log_2\left(x-3\right)+5

Logarithmic equations have no horizontal asymptotes.

For a logarithmic function above, the function will be undefined at:


\begin{gathered} x-3=0 \\ \therefore \\ x=3 \end{gathered}

This is the vertical asymptote.

ANSWER


x=3
