    Asymptote
In summary, a slant asymptote is a straight line that a graph approaches but never touches as it extends towards infinity or negative infinity. It can be identified by examining the end behavior of a graph, where the degree of the numerator is one more than the degree of the denominator. A slant asymptote cannot intersect a graph and not all rational functions have one. To graph a slant asymptote, you can use the equation y = mx + b and plot points on either side for a better understanding.

There's no unique rational function. There's tons of them. Start with y=2x+1 and add a fraction that goes to zero as x->infinity (or where ever you want your asymptote).

thz i figured it out it sid make up a functions but thanks anyway
 

FAQ: What is the rational function with a slant asymptote of y = 2x + 1?

What is a slant asymptote?

A slant asymptote is a straight line that a graph approaches but never touches as it extends towards infinity or negative infinity. It is also known as an oblique asymptote.

How can I identify a slant asymptote?

A slant asymptote can be identified by examining the end behavior of a graph. If the degree of the numerator is one more than the degree of the denominator, then the graph will have a slant asymptote.

Can a slant asymptote intersect a graph?

No, a slant asymptote cannot intersect a graph. It is a line that the graph approaches but never touches.

Do all rational functions have a slant asymptote?

No, not all rational functions have a slant asymptote. For a rational function to have a slant asymptote, the degree of the numerator must be one more than the degree of the denominator.

How do I graph a slant asymptote?

To graph a slant asymptote, you can use the equation y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the asymptote and b is the y-intercept. You can also plot several points on either side of the asymptote to get a better understanding of its shape and location.
