How do you graph #f(x)= (2x^2+7x-15) / (x+5)# and identify all the asymptotes and domain?

#D=ℝ#
#"No asymptotes."#

Explanation:

First thing you should always do is simplify, as you can see, the numerator can be simplified by #(x+5)(2x-3)#:

#f(x)=((x+5)(2x-3))/(x+5)=(cancel((x+5))(2x-3))/cancel((x+5))=2x-3#

#f(x)=2x-3#

and this is really simple, it's a line with a slope of #2# and the intercept point in #(0,-3)#.
