(f(x) = 4)
(f(x) = -1)
(f(x) = -4)
(f(x) = -2)

Explanation:

Locate the x-value on the horizontal axis

Find \(x = 2\) on the horizontal axis (x-axis).

Find the corresponding point on the curve

Move vertically down from \(x = 2\) to intersect the plotted curve.

Read the y-value on the vertical axis

The intersection point on the curve is located at \((2, -4)\), which means \(f(2) = -4\).

Answer:

• \(f(x) = 4\)
• \(f(x) = -1\)
• \(f(x) = -4\) (Correct answer)
• \(f(x) = -2\)
