How do you graph y=(5x+2)/(4x) using asymptotes, intercepts, end behavior?

Asymptotes : x(y-5/4)=0. x-intercept ( y = 0 ) : -2/5. No intercepts at all. See asymptotes-inclusive Socratic graph.

Explanation:

graph{(x(y-5/4)-1/2)(y-5/4+.001x) (x--.001y)=0 [-5, 5, -2.5, 2.5]}

This is y = 5/4+1/(2x), giving

(y-5/4)(x)=1/2, representing the rectangular hyperbola,

with center at C( 0, 15/4) , at which the asymptotes

x(y-5/4)=0 intersect.

x-intercept ( y = 0 ) : -2/5

There are no intercepts at all.
