Answer

See graph below. x-intercept=-2 y-intercepts=-4 vertical asymptotes $x=-1,x=2$ no horizontal asymptote slant asymptote $y=x+1$

Work Step by Step

Graph the function as shown in the figure. We can identify the following from the graph: x-intercept=-2 y-intercepts=-4 vertical asymptotes $x=-1,x=2$ no horizontal asymptote slant asymptote $y=x+1$ (this can also be obtained with the quotient of the rational function) local extrema can also be identified but not required by the question.
