Answer:

Explanation:

If f(x) is an even function, that means it has symmetry across the y-axis. In other words, if (a,b) is a point on the graph of f(x), then (-a,b) must also be on the graph.

We are given that f(2) = -5. Since 2 is a positive number, we know that (-2) is the corresponding negative value that also lies on the y-axis. Therefore, we can say that f(-2) = f(2) = -5.

So, the other point that must be on the graph of f(x) is (-2,-5).
