I guess its $f(x)=(x^2-25)/(x+5$ enter image source here

so $y=(x^2-25)/(x+5)$

change f(x) to y

using $a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)$

from the numirator $x^2-25=(x-5)(x+5)$

therefore $y=((x+5)(x-5))/(x+5)$

x+5 will be canceled out

$y=(cancel(x+5)(x-5))/(cancel(x+5))$

the left over is

$y=x-5$

where the gradient of the line =1
y-intercept=-5
when y=0
x-intercept=5

graph{y=x-5 [-7.79, 12.21, -6.92, 3.08]}
