Answer

a) $(-4, 2)$ b) $(1, -12)$ c) $(-4, 5)$

Work Step by Step

$(-3, 5)$ is a point on the graph of $y = g(x)$. Which means $g(-3) = 5$ (a) What point is on the graph of $y = g(x + 1) - 3$ $x+1 = -3 => x = -4$ For $x = -4$, we get $y = g(-3) -3 = 5 - 3 = 2$ So, $(-4, 2)$ is on the graph (b) What point is on the graph of $y = - 3g(x - 4) + 3$? $x-4 = -3 => x = 1$ For $x = 1$, we get $y = -3g(-3) + 3 = -15 + 3 = -12$ So, $(1, -12)$ is on the graph (c) What point is on the graph of $y = g(3x + 9)$? $3x+9 = -3 => x = -4$ For $x = -4$, we get $y = g(-3) = 5$ So, $(-4, 5)$ is on the graph
