**Rational Function Graphing**

Graph the following rational function. Be sure to include a chart/table of signs with your graphs and ensure that your graphs include all intercepts and asymptotes. Make sure to show your work in terms of finding the vertical/horizontal asymptotes and the intercepts.

**Function:**

\[ y = \frac{x^2 - 4}{x^2 - 3x} \]

### Instructions:

1. **Intercepts**:
   - **X-Intercepts**: Set the numerator equal to zero and solve for \(x\).
   - **Y-Intercept**: Evaluate the function at \(x = 0\).

2. **Vertical Asymptotes**:
   - Set the denominator equal to zero and solve for \(x\).

3. **Horizontal Asymptotes**:
   - Compare the degrees of the numerator and the denominator.

4. **Sign Chart**:
   - Create a sign chart to determine the signs of the function in different intervals based on the intercepts and asymptotes.

Ensure that all calculations, graphs, and analyses are clearly shown and explained.
