The graph would be the graph of #1/x# translated horizontally to the right by 2 units, with a hole at x= -2

Explanation:

R(x) on simplification is #1/(x-2)#.

This can be easily graphed by translating the graph of function #1/x# horizontally to the right by 2 units. It would have an asymptote at x=2. There would be hole at x= -2 in the graph for R(x)
