The graph of function g(x) is in the image at the end.

How to graph the transformation?

Here we start with the function f(x) = |x|.

We want to graph the function:

g(x) = -f(x + 4)

This is a translation of 4 units to the left of f(x), and then a reflection across the x-axis.

So just take the graph of f(x) and do that, the graph of:

g(x) = -|x + 4|

Is the one you can see below.
