Answer:

Explanation:

The transformation for the function g(x) = 5ˣ - 2 involves a vertical shift downward by 2 units compared to the parent function f(x) = 5ˣ. This is because the constant term (-2) is subtracted from the function. So, the graph of g(x) will be identical to the graph of f(x), except that it will be shifted downward by 2 units. Specifically, the point (0, 1) on the graph of f(x) will be shifted down to (0, -1) on the graph of g(x), and similarly, all other points on the graph will be shifted downward by 2 units.
