Answer:

square root function; y = -√(x + 2) - 1

Explanation:

the graph shown is a square root function

the parent of a square root function is y = √x

you transform this equation using y = a√(x - h) + k

it is reflected across the x axis so you put the negative before the a

since there is no dilation the a is blank

y = -√(x - h) + k

the h is the horizontal shift

it went 2 to the left so that is -2

that makes it y = -√(x - -2) + k

which is also y = -√(x + 2) + k

the k is the vertical shift

it went 1 down

that makes it y = -√(x + 2) - 1

that is your equation
