The image you've uploaded contains instructions for analyzing a rational function graph. Let's go through the steps described:

### Instructions on the graph (red curve):
1. **Trace the two asymptotes**:
   - Asymptotes are typically straight lines where the graph tends to infinity. These could be vertical or horizontal. In the given graph, it looks like:
     - The vertical asymptote could be along the y-axis (x = 0).
     - The horizontal asymptote could be along the x-axis (y = 0).
   
2. **Mark the y-intercept**:
   - The y-intercept is the point where the graph crosses the y-axis (i.e., where \(x = 0\)). This is represented by a black square according to the directions.
   
3. **Mark the zero**:
   - The zero of the function is the x-intercept, where the graph crosses the x-axis (i.e., where \(y = 0\)). This should be marked with a black star.

Would you like me to help you with marking these points directly on the image, or provide a more detailed explanation of each step? 

Here are five additional questions related to this task:

1. How do you determine the equations of vertical and horizontal asymptotes for rational functions?
2. What is the significance of a rational function's y-intercept, and how is it calculated?
3. How can you algebraically find the zeros of a rational function?
4. What role do asymptotes play in understanding the end behavior of rational functions?
5. Can there be oblique asymptotes, and how are they identified?

**Tip**: Always observe where the graph tends toward infinity to identify vertical asymptotes. Horizontal asymptotes indicate the behavior of the graph as \(x\) approaches large values.

Analyze the rational function graph: trace the asymptotes, mark the y-intercept with a black square, and mark the zero with a black star.

This exercise guides students through analyzing a rational function's graph. Learn to trace vertical and horizontal asymptotes, find the y-intercept, and locate the function's zero. Suitable for high school students studying algebra and rational functions.
