What is the horizontal asymptote of f of x is equal to the fraction with numerator negative 2 x and denominator x plus 1 ?

The numerator and denominator both have degree 1, so the horizontal asymptote is the ratio of their leading coefficients. That ratio is −2 divided by 1, which equals −2. Therefore, the horizontal asymptote is y = −2, choice A.
