The graph the rational function is attached and the asymptote is x = -2

How to sketch the graph the rational function

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

f(x) = (x - 2)/(x² - 4)

This can be expressed as

f(x) = (x - 2)/(x - 2)(x + 2)

So, we have

f(x) = 1/(x + 2)

For the asymptote, we set the denominator to 0

So, we have

x + 2 = 0

Evaluate

x = -2
