### Graph of a Rational Function

This diagram depicts the graph of a rational function, showcasing key aspects such as asymptotes and behavior in different quadrants. 

#### Graph Details:
- **Axes**: The graph is plotted on a Cartesian coordinate plane with the x-axis horizontally and the y-axis vertically.
- **Asymptotes**: The graph features two asymptotes:
  - **Vertical Asymptote**: x = 2 (indicated by a dashed vertical red line).
  - **Horizontal Asymptote**: y = 0 (indicated by a dashed horizontal red line).
- **Function Behavior**: 
  - In the first quadrant (I), the function approaches the vertical asymptote x = 2 from the right and the horizontal asymptote y = 0 from above.
  - In the second quadrant (II), the function approaches the vertical asymptote x = 2 from below and zero as the x-values go to negative infinity.
  
### Quadrants:
The graph is divided into four quadrants:
1. **I (First Quadrant)**: Top right, where x and y are both positive.
2. **II (Second Quadrant)**: Top left, where x is negative and y is positive.
3. **III (Third Quadrant)**: Bottom left, where x and y are both negative.
4. **IV (Fourth Quadrant)**: Bottom right, where x is positive and y is negative.

### Line and Arrow Indicators:
- **Arrows on the Axes**: Indicate the direction in which the axes extend (positive and negative directions).
- **Red Arrows on the Function**: Show the direction of the graph as it approaches the asymptotes and infinity.

### Conclusion:
This graph illustrates the typical behavior of rational functions with vertical and horizontal asymptotes, and its properties in different quadrants.
