Explanation:

it is simple for such a line.

x goes to -infinity, and therefore y (or f(x)) also goes to -infinity.

x goes to +infinity, and therefore y (or f(x)) also goes to +infinity.

the difference between x and y values is just a constant factor (the slope). that constant factor becomes irrelevant, when the values approach infinity anyway. only the sign is relevant.

but in our case the slope is +1/+2 (the y value increases by +1 for every increase of x by +2).

so, the line (as we can see in the graph) is

y = 1/2 × x - 1

when x goes to +infinity, "-1" is irrelevant, and

1/2 × +infinity = +infinity.

when x goes to -infinity, again, "-1" is irrelevant, and

1/2 × -infinity = -infinity
