Simplify by cancelling common factors from numerator and denominator.
  (x² -x -6)/(x² -4) = (x -3)(x +2)/((x -2)(x +2))
  = (x -3)/(x -2)

The restriction x > 2 ensures the denominator will not be zero.

____
This could be written as
.. 1 -1/(x -2)
so that you can see it is a reflection of 1/x across the x-axis and a translation 1 unit up and 2 units to the right.
