What does asymptote mean?
noun
A line or curve that a function or curve approaches but never touches as the input or independent variable gets arbitrarily close to a certain point. In geometry, an asymptote of a curve is a line such that the distance between the curve and the line approaches zero as the distance along the curve from a point on the curve to a limit point approaches infinity.
Example
"The graph of the function has a horizontal asymptote at y = 2."
