Graphing Rational Functions

When does a slant (oblique) asymptote occur?

• when a factor in the numerator cancels out a factor in the denominator

• when the degree of the numerator is the same as the degree of the denominator

• when the degree of the numerator is exactly one larger than the degree of the denominator

• when the degree of the numerator and the denominator are the same
