Step 1:
\The function is
.
Rewrite the function is 
First graph the parent function of
is
.
Compare
with
, where
. where
, so the graph of
passes through
,
,
.
Step 2:
\Next graph the original function using transformation
(Shift up one unit).
The graph of
passes through
,
and
.
Graph:
\Graph the functions
and
.
Draw the line segment for transformation line

The horizontal asymptote of
is the line
