Rational Functions in the form f(x) = (ax+b)/(cx+d)

In this investigation, students look at the connections between the the coefficients and the intercepts & asymptotes of the function in the form f(x) = (ax+b)/(cx+d). There are three parts, first there is an investigation of the intercepts, then the asymptotes, and finally, students test their knowledge with several Match my Function slides. There are a lot of slides here and this could easily be done as a homework assignment that is consolidated the next day in class. This should take 30-50min This is part of a bigger investigation with multiple Desmos activities http://engaging-math.blogspot.ca/2017/02/investigating-graphs-of-rational.html
