If f(x) = 0.8(2 – x), what is the value of f(–2)?

With functions, you take the number that is in the ( ), so we have f(-2), and take the fomula f(x) = 0.8(2 – x) and everywhere you see an 'x' replace it with the -2 f(–2)=0.8(2 – (-2)) 

We will have to work with the expression of 0.8(2-(-2) When you want to evaluate these types of expressions, you want to use the Order of Operations: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction. First we have to evaluate the parentheses. What is 2-(-2)
 its 4.

ok now you got 0.8 (4)

 Now we have the remains of 0.8(4). If a number is within the parenthesis, then it means that we have to multiply the number inside with the number that is outside. What is 0.8*4 its 3.2 s your answer is going to be

3.2

Where the white dots are is where your points should be plotted.a translation is simply just moving something from one place to another. in this case, you would move each plot point of the original shape 2 units up, and 5 units to the left.
