Curve Sketching - Graph the following equation with precision

Graph the following equation with precision. Show all calculations. 
 
x4 - 2x3 - x + 2
--------------------------
     x3 - 4x
 
the dotted line is division. Just made it easier to read. (Hopefully)
 
Here is what I have so far
 
x-intercept = (1, 0)
Hole at x=2
Y-intercept: none
vertical asymptote: x = 0 and x = -2
 
I need help graphing it and finding the slant asymptote. Please include all work!

Did you read my answer from yesterday?  I said you have to use long division to get the quotient.  That quotient is the equation of the slant asymptote.
