You can try the following, if you want a smoother plot, just increase the number of points.



documentclassarticle
usepackagepgfplots
pgfplotssetcompat=1.16

begindocument

begintikzpicture
beginaxis
[
title = Graph of $frac6x^2-3x+42x^2-8$,
axis lines = center,
xlabel = $x$,
ylabel = $y$,
]
addplot[color=red] (6*x^2-3*x+4) / (2*x^2-8) ;
endaxis
endtikzpicture

enddocument



enter image description here




Edit:



As I said, you can increase no. points by samples=<..> and also you can limit ymin and ymax because you have two infinite discontinuities at ±2:



begintikzpicture
beginaxis
[
title = Graph of $frac6x^2-3x+42x^2-8$,
axis lines = center,
xlabel = $x$,
ylabel = $y$,
samples=500,
ymin=-150, ymax=150,
]
addplot[color=red] (6*x^2-3*x+4) / (2*x^2-8) ;
endaxis
endtikzpicture

  • That is exactly how the graph in the provided link looks like, besides that it isn't really smooth, because by default "only" 25 sample points are used. That is why AboAmmar suggested to increase samples to a higher number.
