Answer:
We know that the formula to get the equation of a rational function is:
y = a * (factors of x intercepts) / (factor of vertical asymptote)
We are given the equation:
y = (3x - 18) / (2x + 1)
from the formula, we know that the value in the denominator is the factor of the vertical asymptote
So, we can write that:
2x + 1 = 0 [where x is the vertical asymptote]
x = -1/2
Therefore, the vertical asymptote of the given equation is -1/2
