Function by following steps:
- step0: Find the horizontal asymptotes:
  $$f\left(x\right)=-6x-\frac{7}{4x-6}$$
- step1: Evaluate the limits $$\lim _{x\rightarrow +\infty}\left(f\left(x\right)\right)$$ and $$\lim _{x\rightarrow -\infty}\left(f\left(x\right)\right):$$
  $$\begin{align}&\lim _{x\rightarrow +\infty}\left(-6x-\frac{7}{4x-6}\right)\&\lim _{x\rightarrow -\infty}\left(-6x-\frac{7}{4x-6}\right)\end{align}$$
- step2: Calculate:
  $$\begin{align}&-\infty\&+\infty\end{align}$$
- step3: The function has no horizontal asymptotes:
  $$\textrm{No horizontal asymptotes}$$

To analyze the rational function

$$
f(x) = \frac{-6x - 7}{4x - 6}
$$

we need to find its vertical and horizontal asymptotes.

### Vertical Asymptotes
Vertical asymptotes occur where the denominator is zero (and the numerator is not zero at those points).

Setting the denominator equal to zero:

$$
4x - 6 = 0
$$

Solving for $$x$$:

$$
4x = 6 \implies x = \frac{3}{2}
$$

Thus, there is a vertical asymptote at

$$
x = \frac{3}{2}.
$$

### Horizontal Asymptotes
Horizontal asymptotes are determined by the degrees of the polynomial in the numerator and the denominator. In this case, both the numerator and denominator are linear polynomials (degree 1).

For rational functions where the degrees of the numerator and denominator are equal, the horizontal asymptote is given by the ratio of the leading coefficients.

The leading coefficient of the numerator $$-6x$$ is $$-6$$ and the leading coefficient of the denominator $$4x$$ is $$4$$. Therefore, the horizontal asymptote is:

$$
y = \frac{-6}{4} = -\frac{3}{2}.
$$

### Summary of Asymptotes
- **Vertical Asymptote:** $$x = \frac{3}{2}$$
- **Horizontal Asymptote:** $$y = -\frac{3}{2}$$

These asymptotes can be graphed on the coordinate plane to visualize the behavior of the function.
The function $$ f(x) = \frac{-6x - 7}{4x - 6} $$ has a vertical asymptote at $$ x = \frac{3}{2} $$ and a horizontal asymptote at $$ y = -\frac{3}{2} $$.

Graph all vertical and horizontal asymptotes of the rational function. \[ f(x)=\frac{-6 x-7}{4 x-6} \]
