$textbf{Steps needed to graph a reciprocal function}$ using the graph of the original function are:

$(1)$ All the $y$-coordinates of a reciprocal function are the reciprocals of the $y$-coordinates of the original function.

$(2)$ The graph of a reciprocal function has a vertical asymptote at each zero of the original function.

$(3)$ A reciprocal function will always have $y=0$ as a horizontal asymptote if the original function is linear or quadratic.

$(4)$ A reciprocal function has the same positive/negative intervals as the original function.

$(5)$ Intervals of increase on the original function are intervals of decrease on the reciprocal function. Intervals of decrease on the original function are intervals of increase on the reciprocal function.

$(6)$ If the range of the original function includes $2$ and/or $-2$ the reciprocal function will intersect the original function at a point (or points) where the $y$-coordinate is $2$ or $-2$ .

$(7)$ If the original function has a local minimum point, the reciprocal function will have a local maximum point at the same $x$-value.
