f ( x ) = x x - 2
f ( x ) = ( x - 2 ) + 2 x - 2
f ( x ) = 1 + 2 x - 2

As x , y 1
ie As x approaches a very big number, 2 x - 2 will become 0
For the vertical asymptote, x - 2 0 since the denominator cannot equal to 0.

Therefore, there is a horizontal asymptote at y=1 and a vertical asymptote at x=2

For intercepts,
When y=0, x=0
When x=0, y=0

Then, after plotting your intercepts and your asymptotes, you can hopefully see the outline of your graph. Your end points should be approaching the asymptotes but never touching your asymptotes.
