As below.

Explanation:

Form of equation for tangent function is A tan (Bx - C) + D

Given : y = tan ((pi/2)x)

A = 1, B = pi/2, C = 0, D = 0

"Amplitude " = |A| = "NONE" " for tangent function"

"Period " = pi / |B| = pi / (pi/2) = 2

Phase Shift " = -C / B = 0

"Vertical Shift " = D = 0

graph{tan ((pi/2)x) [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
