Answer 1

See Below

Step-by-step explanation:

`\boxed{\bold{1}}` If there are any intercepts, find them

`\boxed{\bold{2}}` Find the vertical asymptotes by setting the denominator equal to zero and solving

`\boxed{\bold{3}}` If the horizontal asymptote exists find it and use fact from step two

`\boxed{\bold{4}}` The vertical asymptotes will divide the number line into regions

`\boxed{\bold{5}}` Sketch the graph
