For the function y = 1/x-2

Give the y values for x = -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3
Can you show me the process as well?

Thanks

Do you mean 1) y = (1/x) - 2 or 2) y = 1/(x - 2)?

For x = 1 is (1), y = 1/1 - 2 = -1.

For x = 1 in (2), y = 1/(1 - 2) = 1/(-1) = -1

For x = 2 in (1), y = (1/2) - 2 = -3/2

For x = 2 in (2), y = 1/(2 - 2) = 1/0

See what yo get forthe other values of x.
