$(4)$ 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.
