To find the slant asymptote of a rational function, we need to divide the numerator by the denominator using long division or synthetic division. In this case, we have:
x + 3
r(x) = --------------
x - 1
Using long division, we get:
x + 3
r(x) = x + 4 + -----
x - 1
Therefore, the slant asymptote of r(x) is the line y = x + 4.
