y= 1/x-2
I need to find all asymptotes and sketch out the graph
Start with the basic graph of 1/x which is a slant hyperbola with center at (0,0) and vertical asymptote at x=0 or y-axis and horizontal asymptote at y=0 or x-axis.
To get the final curve, drop y-coordinates of basic curve by 2 units
see graph below as a visual check:
