Identifying which graph shows the function $y=\\frac{x-a}{x+b}$

When $x=\\var{a}$, $y=0$, therefore there will be an intersection with the $x-\\text{axis}$ at $(\\var{a},0)$.
When $x=0$, $y=\\frac{0-\\var{a}}{0+\\var{b}}$, therefore there will be an intersection with the $y-\\text{axis}$ at $(0,\\simplify{-{a}/{b}})$.
When $x$ becomes very large, $(x+a) \\rightarrow x$ and $(x-b) \\rightarrow x$, therefore $f(x) \\rightarrow 1$. Therefore there is an asymptote at $x=1$.
Which graph shows the function $\\frac{\\simplify{x-{a}}}{\\simplify{x+{b}}}$?
