To find the y values, simply plug in the x values:
Let x=2

So do this for every x value in your table
Here is what the table should look like:


          x          y
   -5.00000   -0.16667
   -4.00000   -0.20000
   -3.00000   -0.25000
   -2.00000   -0.33333
   -1.00000   -0.50000
    0.00000   -1.00000
    1.00000  undefined
    2.00000    1.00000
    3.00000    0.50000
    4.00000    0.33333
    5.00000    0.25000

So when you plot the points, it should look like this

And connecting those points we get:
