Final Answer :
E
Explanation :
The vertical asymptote of a logarithmic function logb(x) \log_b(x) logb(x) occurs where the argument of the logarithm equals zero, since the logarithm is undefined at zero. For g(t)=−6+log7(t)g(t) = -6 + \log_7(t)g(t)=−6+log7(t) , this happens when t=0t = 0t=0 , which corresponds to the y-axis, not a specific value of ttt .
