Unit G Summary Question #3 Slant Asymptote

3. When does a graph have a slant asymptote? How do you find the equation of the slant asymptote?

             Graphing the slant asymptote is based on the degrees of the problem.  A graph has a slant asymptote when the degree on the top (the numerator) is one bigger than the degree on bottom (the deniminator). Now this is ONLY when it is one degree bigger not two or three degrees. Now for finding the equation of the slant asymptote you perform long division. We have to remember though the remainder is excluded from the equation.
