Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is expressed as

y = 1/(x - 2)

We will assume values for x and determine the corresponding values for y. Therefore,

When x = 0, y = 1/(0 - 2) = - 1/2

When x = 1, y = 1/(1 - 2) = - 1

When x = 2, y = 1/(2 - 2) = 0

When x = 3, y = 1/(3 - 2) = 1

When x = 4, y = 1/(4 - 2) = 1/2

To plot the graph, we would choose a suitable scale for the x and y axis of the graph.

Let 2 cm represent 1 unit on the vertical axis.

Let 2 cm represent 0.5 unit on the x axis.

The graph is shown in the attached photo
