-$$f ( x ) = \frac { 8 x } { 8 x + 7 }$$
A) $\mathrm { y } = 1$
B) $y = - \frac { 7 } { 8 }$
C) $y = 0$
D) no horizontal asymptote

The horizontal asymptote of a rational function $\frac{P(x)}{Q(x)}$ where the degrees of P and Q are the same is found by dividing the leading coefficients. Here, both the numerator and denominator are of degree 1, and the leading coefficients are both 8, so the horizontal asymptote is $y = \frac{8}{8} = 1$.
