Given the graph of f(x):
Where the points A, B, and C have the coordinates:
[tex]\begin{gathered} A=(0,-2) \\ B=(3,2) \\ C=(5,2) \end{gathered}[/tex]
Now, the transformation -f(x) is just a reflection about the x-axis. This is equivalent to a change of sign on the y-coordinate. The new points A', B', and C' are:
[tex]\begin{gathered} A^{\prime}=(0,2) \\ B^{\prime}=(3,-2) \\ C^{\prime}=(5,-2) \end{gathered}[/tex]
And the graph looks like this:
Now, for the f(x) - 2 transformation, we see that this is just a shift of 2 units down. Then:
Where:
[tex]\begin{gathered} A^{\prime}^{\prime}=(0,-4) \\ B^{\prime}^{\prime}=(3,0) \\ C^{\prime}^{\prime}=(5,0) \end{gathered}[/tex]
