Answer 1

(-2,-2)

Explanation:

I took a test and got it right

Answer 2

(-2, -2)

Explanation:

Compare the two functions ...

f(x) = -|x +2| -2

f(x) = a·g(x -h) +k

where f(x) is a translation and scaling of function g(x). Here, you have ...

g(x) = |x|

The scale factor is a = -1.

The horizontal shift is h = -2.

The vertical shift is k = -2.

_____

The original vertex at (0, 0) has been shifted by (h, k) to ...

(0, 0) + (h, k) = (0, 0) + (-2, -2) = (-2, -2).
