question
find the value of f(-2).
y = f(x)
(graph of the function y = f(x) with coordinate axes)
answer attempt 1 out of 2

Explanation:

Step1: Locate x = -2 on x - axis

Find the position of \( x=-2 \) on the horizontal (x - axis) of the graph \( y = f(x) \).

Step2: Find corresponding y - value

From \( x=-2 \), move vertically until intersecting the graph of \( y = f(x) \). The y - coordinate at this intersection point is the value of \( f(-2) \). By observing the graph, when \( x=-2 \), the point on the graph has a y - value of -5.

Answer:

-5
