What is the horizontal asymptote of the rational function f(x) = (2x² + 3x - 1) / (5x² - x + 7)?

A y = 0
B y = 2/5
C y = 5/2
D There is no horizontal asymptote.

✓ Correct Answer: Option B

When the degree of the numerator is equal to the degree of the denominator, the horizontal asymptote is the ratio of their leading coefficients. Here, both degrees are 2, so y = 2/5.
