### Identifying Horizontal Asymptotes of a Rational Function

Consider the rational function:
\[ q(x) = \frac{-5x^2 + 5x - 4}{x^2 + 2} \]

#### (a) Identify the horizontal asymptotes (if any).

#### (b) If the graph of the function has a horizontal asymptote, determine the point (if any) where the graph crosses the horizontal asymptote(s). 

Separate multiple equations of asymptotes with commas as necessary. Select "None" if applicable.

Options:
- ○ The graph has no horizontal asymptotes.
- ● The graph has at least one horizontal asymptote.

Below are the fields for your answers:
- **Equation(s) of the horizontal asymptote(s)**: \( y = -5 \)
- **Crossover point(s)**: (input box for crossover points if any)

#### Diagrams
On the right side, there are options to select multiple points or ranges using rectangular selection tools.

Feel free to input the necessary values and confirm your answers by using the provided tools.
