Answer:

D. g(x) = f(x) - 5

Explanation:

To move the intercept to -2, one needs to translate the function down by 5 or left by 5. The first translation (down 5) would result in ...

g(x) = f(x) - 5 . . . . . . matches choice D

The second translation (left 5) would result in ...

g(x) = f(x+5) . . . . doesn't match any available choice
