Unit G #3: Slant Asymptote

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

A graph has a slant asymptote when the degree on the top is one bigger than the degree on the bottom.  If this applies to the problem, to find the slant asymptote, you must use long division.  Everything but your remainder is the equation to your slant asymptote, so your slant asymptote will look something like y= mx+b.
