        1 - x 
f(x) = -------
       2 + 3*x
$$f{\left(x \right)} = \frac{1 - x}{3 x + 2}$$
f = (1 - x)/(3*x + 2)
The graph of the function
The domain of the function
The points at which the function is not precisely defined:
$$x_{1} = -0.666666666666667$$
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:
$$\frac{1 - x}{3 x + 2} = 0$$
Solve this equation
The points of intersection with the axis X:

Analytical solution
$$x_{1} = 1$$
Numerical solution
$$x_{1} = 1$$
The points of intersection with the Y axis coordinate
The graph crosses Y axis when x equals 0:
substitute x = 0 to (1 - x)/(2 + 3*x).
$$\frac{1 - 0}{0 \cdot 3 + 2}$$
The result:
$$f{\left(0 \right)} = \frac{1}{2}$$
The point:
(0, 1/2)
Extrema of the function
In order to find the extrema, we need to solve the equation
$$\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)} = 0$$
(the derivative equals zero),
and the roots of this equation are the extrema of this function:
$$\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)} = $$
the first derivative
$$- \frac{3 \left(1 - x\right)}{\left(3 x + 2\right)^{2}} - \frac{1}{3 x + 2} = 0$$
Solve this equation
Solutions are not found,
function may have no extrema
Inflection points
Let's find the inflection points, we'll need to solve the equation for this
$$\frac{d^{2}}{d x^{2}} f{\left(x \right)} = 0$$
(the second derivative equals zero),
the roots of this equation will be the inflection points for the specified function graph:
$$\frac{d^{2}}{d x^{2}} f{\left(x \right)} = $$
the second derivative
$$\frac{6 \left(- \frac{3 \left(x - 1\right)}{3 x + 2} + 1\right)}{\left(3 x + 2\right)^{2}} = 0$$
Solve this equation
Solutions are not found,
maybe, the function has no inflections
Vertical asymptotes
Have:
$$x_{1} = -0.666666666666667$$
Horizontal asymptotes
Let’s find horizontal asymptotes with help of the limits of this function at x->+oo and x->-oo
$$\lim_{x \to -\infty}\left(\frac{1 - x}{3 x + 2}\right) = - \frac{1}{3}$$
Let's take the limit
so,
equation of the horizontal asymptote on the left:
$$y = - \frac{1}{3}$$
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{1 - x}{3 x + 2}\right) = - \frac{1}{3}$$
Let's take the limit
so,
equation of the horizontal asymptote on the right:
$$y = - \frac{1}{3}$$
Inclined asymptotes
Inclined asymptote can be found by calculating the limit of (1 - x)/(2 + 3*x), divided by x at x->+oo and x ->-oo
$$\lim_{x \to -\infty}\left(\frac{1 - x}{x \left(3 x + 2\right)}\right) = 0$$
Let's take the limit
so,
inclined coincides with the horizontal asymptote on the right
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{1 - x}{x \left(3 x + 2\right)}\right) = 0$$
Let's take the limit
so,
inclined coincides with the horizontal asymptote on the left
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:
$$\frac{1 - x}{3 x + 2} = \frac{x + 1}{2 - 3 x}$$
- No
$$\frac{1 - x}{3 x + 2} = - \frac{x + 1}{2 - 3 x}$$
- No
so, the function
not is
neither even, nor odd
