See explanation and graph.

#y = 3 cot (x/2) - 2,

$x ne$ ( asymptotic zero of the denominator sin (x/2) ) $2kpi$ ,

$k = 0, +-1, +-2, +-3, ...$

The period is the period of $tan ( x/2) = pi/(1/2) = 2pi$ .

Vertical shift for the axis is $-$ , and so, the axis is

$y = - 2$ .

See graph, depicting all these aspects.
graph{((y+2)sin (x/2) - cos (x/2))(y+2+0x)(x-2pi+0.0001y)(x+2pi+0.0001y)(x+0.0001y) = 0[-20 20 -12 8] }
