How do I plot the graph of f(x) = 4/(x+3)?

Problem drawing graph, please help!

Hi everyone, I'm struggling to draw the graph of f(x) = 4/(x+3)

I'm just wondering how you go about plotting a graph like this and the process you use to do it. Thanks for your time

Well, first think about the domain of the function. Then think about some limits of interest.

Learn to draw y = 1/x, first then realize what transformation maps y = 1/x on to y = 1/(x+3). The 4 only represents a one-way stretch in the y-direction, doesn't it.
