Final answer:
The point (-4, -2) on the graph y = f(x) is translated to the point (-4, -4) under the transformation y = 3f(x) + 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given transformation is y = 3f(x) + 2. To find the new point, we substitute the x-coordinate of the given point (-4) into the equation to get:
y = 3f(-4) + 2
Since (-4, -2) is a point on the graph of y = f(x), the y-coordinate is equal to f(-4). Therefore, we can substitute -2 for f(-4) in the equation:
y = 3(-2) + 2
Simplifying:
y = -6 + 2
y = -4
So, the new point after the transformation is (-4, -4).
