4x +8x7 -3 4х2 -3x+1. Which of the following claim and explanation
statements about the graph of r is true?

degree of the denominator.
(B) The graph of r has a horizontal asymptote because the leading coefficient of the numerator is equal to
the leading coefficient of the denominator.
(C) The graph of r has a slant asymptote because the degree of the numerator is greater than the degree of
the denominator.
D) The graph of r has a slant asymptote because the leading coefficient of the numerator is equal to the
leading coefficient of the denominator.
