Key Concepts
Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.
Function Transformation
Function transformation refers to the process of altering the graph of a function through various operations, such as shifting, reflecting, or stretching. In this case, the function g(x) = -f(x+2) involves both a horizontal shift and a vertical reflection of the original function f(x). Understanding these transformations is crucial for accurately graphing the new function.

Horizontal Shift
A horizontal shift occurs when a function is moved left or right on the Cartesian plane. For the function g(x) = -f(x+2), the term (x+2) indicates a shift of the graph of f(x) to the left by 2 units. This concept is essential for determining the new position of the graph after the transformation.

Shifts of Functions
Vertical Reflection
Vertical reflection involves flipping the graph of a function over the x-axis. In the function g(x) = -f(x+2), the negative sign before f indicates that the graph of f(x) will be reflected vertically. This transformation changes the sign of the output values, which is important for accurately representing the new function's behavior.
