Answer:

C. x=-2

Explanation:

Given the rational function:


f(x)=(2x-5)/(3x+6)

To find the vertical asymptote of f(x), set the denominator of f(x) equal to 0 and solve for x:

• Denominator of f(x) =3x+6

Solve for x:


\begin{gathered} 3x+6=0 \\ 3x=-6 \\ \text{ Divide both sides by 3} \\ (3x)/(3)=-(6)/(3) \\ x=-2 \end{gathered}

The vertical asymptote of f(x) is x=-2.

Option C is correct.
