AHorizontal
BHistorical
CHospitable
DHypothetical
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Horizontal
1. The graph gets very close to one of the axes without crossing it.
2. That axis runs across the page rather than up it.
3. The x-axis is a horizontal asymptote for these functions.
4. So the answer is horizontal.
