Answer

$a.\quad -7$ and $1$ $b.\quad -3 $ and $5.$ $c.\quad -5 $ and $3.$ $d.\quad -3 $ and $5$

Work Step by Step

$(-5,0)$ and $(3,0)$ are points on the graph of y=f(x). $a.$ The graph of f(x) is translated to the left by 2 units, so the new intercept points are $(-5-2,0)$ and $(3-2,0)$ x-intercepts: $-7 $ and $1$ $b.$ The graph of f(x) is translated to the right by 2 units, so the new intercept points are $(-5+2,0)$ and $(3+2,0)$ x-intercepts: $-3 $ and $5.$ $c.$ The graph of f(x) is vertically stretched, so the new intercept points are $(-5,0\cdot 2)$ and $(3,0\cdot 2)$ x-intercepts: $-5 $ and $3.$ $d.$ The graph of f(x) is reflected about the y-axis, so the new intercept points are $(-(-5),0)$ and $(-3,0)$ x-intercepts: $-3 $ and $5.$
