1. Here's the graph : https://www.desmos.com/calculator/sr1qh8cxfs
f(x) = - 3
We want to know what values of x produce a y value of - 3
The graph shows three points where this is true (-4.5, - 3) ( -2, - 3) and (12, - 3)
2. The parent graph is f(x) = l x l ( absolute value graph )
It wil have a "V" shape
f(x) = -3 l x + 1 l - 2
The "- " reflects the graph over the x axis
The "3" vertically stretches the graph by a factor of 3
"x + 1" indicates that the graph is shifted to the left by 1 unit
The " -2 " shifts the graph downward by 2 units
