Limit((-9 - x)/(-2 + x), x, oo, dir='-')
Detail solution
Let's take the limit
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{- x - 9}{x - 2}\right)$$
Let's divide numerator and denominator by x:
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{- x - 9}{x - 2}\right)$$ =
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{-1 - \frac{9}{x}}{1 - \frac{2}{x}}\right)$$
Do Replacement
$$u = \frac{1}{x}$$
then
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{-1 - \frac{9}{x}}{1 - \frac{2}{x}}\right) = \lim_{u \to 0^+}\left(\frac{- 9 u - 1}{1 - 2 u}\right)$$
=
$$\frac{-1 - 0}{1 - 0} = -1$$

The final answer:
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{- x - 9}{x - 2}\right) = -1$$
Lopital's rule
We have indeterminateness of type
-oo/oo,

i.e. limit for the numerator is
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(- x - 9\right) = -\infty$$
and limit for the denominator is
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(x - 2\right) = \infty$$
Let's take derivatives of the numerator and denominator until we eliminate indeterninateness.
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{- x - 9}{x - 2}\right)$$
=
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{\frac{d}{d x} \left(- x - 9\right)}{\frac{d}{d x} \left(x - 2\right)}\right)$$
=
$$\lim_{x \to \infty} -1$$
=
$$\lim_{x \to \infty} -1$$
=
$$-1$$
It can be seen that we have applied Lopital's rule (we have taken derivatives with respect to the numerator and denominator) 1 time(s)
