In order to graph 1%2F%28x-2%29, we need to plot some points.
So we can start at any x value. So lets start at x=-5

y=1%2F%28x-2%29 Start with the given equation

y=1%2F%28%28-5%29-2%29 Plug in x=-5

1%2F%28%28-5%29-2%29=-0.142857142857143 Calculate the y value
So when x=-5 y=-0.142857142857143
So our 1st point is (-5,-0.142857142857143)




y=1%2F%28x-2%29 Start with the given equation

y=1%2F%28%28-4%29-2%29 Plug in x=-4

1%2F%28%28-4%29-2%29=-0.166666666666667 Calculate the y value
So when x=-4 y=-0.166666666666667
So our 2nd point is (-4,-0.166666666666667)




y=1%2F%28x-2%29 Start with the given equation

y=1%2F%28%28-3%29-2%29 Plug in x=-3

1%2F%28%28-3%29-2%29=-0.2 Calculate the y value
So when x=-3 y=-0.2
So our 3rd point is (-3,-0.2)




y=1%2F%28x-2%29 Start with the given equation

y=1%2F%28%28-2%29-2%29 Plug in x=-2

1%2F%28%28-2%29-2%29=-0.25 Calculate the y value
So when x=-2 y=-0.25
So our 4th point is (-2,-0.25)




y=1%2F%28x-2%29 Start with the given equation

y=1%2F%28%28-1%29-2%29 Plug in x=-1

1%2F%28%28-1%29-2%29=-0.333333333333333 Calculate the y value
So when x=-1 y=-0.333333333333333
So our 5th point is (-1,-0.333333333333333)




y=1%2F%28x-2%29 Start with the given equation

y=1%2F%28%280%29-2%29 Plug in x=0

1%2F%28%280%29-2%29=-0.5 Calculate the y value
So when x=0 y=-0.5
So our 6th point is (0,-0.5)




y=1%2F%28x-2%29 Start with the given equation

y=1%2F%28%281%29-2%29 Plug in x=1

1%2F%28%281%29-2%29=-1 Calculate the y value
So when x=1 y=-1
So our 7th point is (1,-1)




y=1%2F%28x-2%29 Start with the given equation

y=1%2F%28x-2%29=1%2F0 Plug in x=2

Since we cannot divide by zero, the y value is undefined




y=1%2F%28x-2%29 Start with the given equation

y=1%2F%28%283%29-2%29 Plug in x=3

1%2F%28%283%29-2%29=1 Calculate the y value
So when x=3 y=1
So our 9th point is (3,1)




y=1%2F%28x-2%29 Start with the given equation

y=1%2F%28%284%29-2%29 Plug in x=4

1%2F%28%284%29-2%29=0.5 Calculate the y value
So when x=4 y=0.5
So our 10th point is (4,0.5)




y=1%2F%28x-2%29 Start with the given equation

y=1%2F%28%285%29-2%29 Plug in x=5

1%2F%28%285%29-2%29=0.333333333333333 Calculate the y value
So when x=5 y=0.333333333333333
So our 11th point is (5,0.333333333333333)






Now lets make a table of the values we have calculated 



 xy



 -5-0.142857142857143
 

 -4-0.166666666666667
 

 -3-0.2
 

 -2-0.25
 

 -1-0.333333333333333
 

 0-0.5
 

 1-1
 

 2Undefined

 40.5
 

 50.333333333333333
Now plot the points

Now connect the points, this is the graph of 1%2F%28x-2%29
