Find the relationship between $a$ and $b$ so that the function $f$ defined by $f(x) = \begin{cases} ax + 1, & \text{if } x \le 3 \\ bx + 3, & \text{if } x > 3 \end{cases}$ is continuous at $x = 3$.

  • A
    $a = b + \frac{1}{3}$
  • B
    $a = b - \frac{2}{3}$
  • C
    $a = b + \frac{2}{5}$
  • D
