Asymptotes and Graph Behavior

Anil Kumar presents a multiple-choice question on the transformation of functions, focusing on matching equations with graphs. The video explains how to derive the equation from a graph by analyzing vertical and horizontal asymptotes, intercepts, and graph behavior. The process involves checking the vertical asymptote at x = -2, the horizontal asymptote at y = 1, and the y-intercept at 1/2. The video concludes with verifying the equation and matching it with the correct option, emphasizing the importance of asymptotes and intercepts in graph analysis.
