Please see below.

Explanation:

.

Functions have horizontal asymptotes when the value of the function, i.e. the value of f(x)=y approaches a certain constant value as x approaches or .

Let's plug and in for x and see what happens:

y=e1x

y=e1=e0=1

y=e1=e0=1

This means y=1 is a horizontal asymptote as can be seen in the graph of the function below:
