The graph of the function
The domain of the function
The points at which the function is not precisely defined:
$$x_{1} = 0$$
$$x_{1} = 0$$
The points of intersection with the X-axis coordinate
Graph of the function intersects the axis X at f = 0
so we need to solve the equation:

$$x_{1} = 0$$
$$x_{1} = 0$$
Horizontal asymptotes
Let’s find horizontal asymptotes with help of the limits of this function at x->+oo and x->-oo
$$\lim_{x \to -\infty}\left(-2 + \frac{\left(-1\right) 2 \left(x + 1\right)}{x}\right) = -4$$
Let's take the limit
so,
equation of the horizontal asymptote on the left:
$$y = -4$$
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(-2 + \frac{\left(-1\right) 2 \left(x + 1\right)}{x}\right) = -4$$

so,
equation of the horizontal asymptote on the right:
$$y = -4$$
$$\lim_{x \to -\infty}\left(-2 + \frac{\left(-1\right) 2 \left(x + 1\right)}{x}\right) = -4$$

equation of the horizontal asymptote on the left:
$$y = -4$$
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(-2 + \frac{\left(-1\right) 2 \left(x + 1\right)}{x}\right) = -4$$

Inclined asymptotes
Inclined asymptote can be found by calculating the limit of (-2*(x + 1))/x - 2, divided by x at x->+oo and x ->-oo
$$\lim_{x \to -\infty}\left(\frac{-2 + \frac{\left(-1\right) 2 \left(x + 1\right)}{x}}{x}\right) = 0$$
Let's take the limit
so,
inclined coincides with the horizontal asymptote on the right
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{-2 + \frac{\left(-1\right) 2 \left(x + 1\right)}{x}}{x}\right) = 0$$
Let's take the limit

$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{-2 + \frac{\left(-1\right) 2 \left(x + 1\right)}{x}}{x}\right) = 0$$

Even and odd functions
Let's check, whether the function even or odd by using relations f = f(-x) и f = -f(-x).
So, check:
$$-2 + \frac{\left(-1\right) 2 \left(x + 1\right)}{x} = -2 - \frac{2 x - 2}{x}$$
- No
$$-2 + \frac{\left(-1\right) 2 \left(x + 1\right)}{x} = 2 + \frac{2 x - 2}{x}$$
- No
so, the function
not is
neither even, nor odd
So, check:
$$-2 + \frac{\left(-1\right) 2 \left(x + 1\right)}{x} = -2 - \frac{2 x - 2}{x}$$
- No
$$-2 + \frac{\left(-1\right) 2 \left(x + 1\right)}{x} = 2 + \frac{2 x - 2}{x}$$
- No
so, the function
not is
neither even, nor odd
