Question

guided practice the vertical asymptote is the vertical line x=a. you find it by following the same steps used to find the point of discontinuity. set the denominator equal to zero and solve for x. type your answer and then click or tap done. find the vertical asymptote for $y = \frac{x}{x - 2}$. $x = \square$

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the denominator

The function is \( y = \frac{x}{x - 2} \), denominator is \( x - 2 \).

Step2: Set denominator to zero

Solve \( x - 2 = 0 \).

Step3: Calculate x

\( x = 2 \). This is the vertical asymptote.
