Answer

$g(x) = -4x - 5$

Work Step by Step

\[ \text{Given: } f(x) = 4x \] \[ \text{Step 1: Translation up 5 units: } \] \text{To translate the graph up by 5 units, we add 5 to the function:} \[ g_1(x) =f(x) + 5 = 4x + 5 \] \[ \text{Step 2: Reflection in the x-axis: } \] When we reflect a function over the x-axis, we multiply the entire function by $-1$. So, we get: \[ g(x) = -g_1(x) = -(4x+5)=-4x-5 \] \[ \therefore g(x) = -4x - 5 \]
