Step 1:

Write the parent function


f(x)\textx - 1

Step 2:

To find f(-a), substitute x = -a


\begin{gathered} f(x)\textx - 1 \\ \text and absolute value \\ of\textx \end{gathered}
\begin{gathered} \text{Therefore} \\ f(-a)\text -a - 1 \\ f(-a)\text -  \\ f(-a)=\text -  \end{gathered}

Step 3:


\begin{gathered} f(x\textx - 1 \\ f(a\texta + h + 1 \end{gathered}
