Answer:

x - 5

Explanation:

For maximum clarity please write this function as

2

f(x) = ------------

x - 5

The vertical asymptote is at x = k, where k is the x value that makes the denominator of this fraction be zero.

In this particular problem, the denominator is zero at x = 5, and so the equation of the vertical asymptote here is x = 5.
