**Title: Graphing Rational Functions**

**Instructions:**
Graph the function. Plot all necessary asymptotes. For vertical asymptotes, ensure there are at least two points on each side.

**Function:**
\[ h(x) = \frac{2x - 8}{x + 3} \]

**Graph Explanation:**

- **Axes:** 
  - The horizontal axis is labeled \( x \).
  - The vertical axis is labeled \( h(x) \).

- **Grid:**
  - The grid is composed of squares, with both axes marked at intervals (e.g., -15, -10, -5, 0, 5, 10, 15) on both the \( x \) and \( h(x) \) axes.

- **Tools:**
  - The interface provides tools for drawing, selecting, and adjusting graph elements (e.g., eraser, pencil, line, and grid adjustments).

**Figure Description:**
No specific graph of the function is present, indicating a preparatory stage for plotting. The task involves determining the behavior of the function and sketching it accordingly on the grid.

**Notes for Students:**
- Identify vertical and horizontal asymptotes by analyzing the function.
- Plot points to understand the behavior of the function close to these asymptotes.
- Ensure accuracy by checking points around critical values (vertices and intercepts).
