If a hyperbola is vertical, the asymptotes have a slope of m = +- a/b. If a hyperbola is horizontal, the asymptotes have a slope of m = +- b/a.
I believe the maximum would be two - one when the independent variable tends toward minus infinity, and one when it tends toward plus infinity. Unbounded functions can have lots of asymptotes; for example the periodic tangent function.
When you graph a tangent function, the asymptotes represent x values 90 and 270.
Not sure what non-verticle means, but a rational function can have up to 2 non-vertical asymptotes,
denominators
tangent, cosecants, secant, cotangent.
Asymptotes are one way - not the only way, but one of several - to analyze the general behavior of a function.
Substitute y = mx + b into the equation and then use the fact that there must a double root (at infinity)

that's simple an equation is settled of asymptotes so if you know the asymptotes... etc etc Need more help? write it
Three types of asymptotes are oblique/slant, horizontal, and vertical
Many functions actually don't have these asymptotes. For example, every polynomial function of degree at least 1 has no horizontal asymptotes. Instead of leveling off, the y-values simply increase or decrease without bound as x heads further to the left or to the right.
When you graph a tangent function, the asymptotes represent x values 90 and 270.
Only the cofunctions have asymptotes. Because csc x = 1/sin x, csc x has vertical asymptotes whenever the denominator is equal to 0, or whenever sin x = 0, which are the multiples of pi (0,1,2,3,4,...). For sec x, it's 1/cos x, thus cos x = 0, x = pi/2 + pi*n, where n is a counting number (0,1,2,etc...). cot x = cos x/sin x, thus its vertical asymptotes are the same as those of csc x. If the function is transformed, look at the number in front of x (for example, csc (2x), that number would be 2)), and divide the fundamental asymptotes (above) by that number. The vertical asymptotes of csc (2x) would be (pi/2, 2pi/2, 3pi/2, etc...).
