`(2x+1)/(x-1)` `=(2x-2+3)/(x-1)`  
  `=(2(x-1)+3)/(x-1)`  
  `=2 + 3/(x-1)`  

COMMENT: Manipulation of the equation (as shown) makes graphing much easier.

 
`text(Asymptotes:)\ \ x = 1,\ \ y = 2`

`text(As)\ \ x->oo,\ \ y->2(+)`

`text(As)\ \ x->-oo,\ \ y->2(-)`

`text(As)\ \ x->-1 (-),\ \ y->-oo`

`text(As)\ \ x->-1 (+),\ \ y->oo`
