The vertical asymptote is x=2
The horizontal asymptote is y=1
There is no oblique asymptote.

Explanation:

As we cannot divide by 0, the vertical asymptote is x=2
And lim_(x->+-oo)y=1
So y=1is a horizontal asymptote.
There is no oblique asymptote as the degree of the numerator = the degree of the denominator
graph{(y-1-3/(x-2))(y-1)=0 [-14.24, 14.24, -7.12, 7.12]}
