Someone help me find the Oblique asymptote of f(x) = (x² + 6x - 9) / (x - 2)

For the Oblique asymptote, I got 7. I got this by using synthetic division which is basically laid out like this:\[2 \rfloor 1 + 6 -9\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You solve this and your remainder/ answer would be 7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i thought you had to put it into slope intercept form?

I don't think you are able to put this into slope-intercept form because the numerator is a quadratic.

It is ok I figured it out what you do is take the synthetic division and so it would be 1 8 -7 and put everything into slope intercept form except the remainder so it would be y=x+8
