How do you find all the asymptotes for function #f(x) = (7x+1)/(2x-9)#?

First we find the vertical asymptote.
That is when the numerator gets near to #0#:
#2x-9~~0->x~~4 1/2#

The horizontal is found when we make #x# larger and larger. The #+1# and #-9# then matter less and less, and the funtion begins to approach #f(x)~~(7x)/(2x)=7/2=3 1/2#
graph{(7x+1)/(2x-9) [-65.8, 65.9, -32.95, 33]}
