How does a slant asymptope of "y = x" look like in a graph? (rational function)

Lets say you just solved some rational function and it turns out you got a slant asymptote of y = x and you were asked to graph it

How does y = x look like in a graph?

Does it go through the origin and through the first and third quadrant of the graph?

How did you get all the way to graphing rational functions without first having covered graphing linear functions? :shock:

To learn how to graph linear functions y = mx + b, try this listing. To learn how the slope m and the y-intercept (x, y) = (0, b) relate to graphing, try here. Study enough lessons to get a grasp of the basic terms and techniques. Then you'll be able to answer your question. (If you're not sure of your answer, follow the instructions in the lessons, and do your own graph.)
