Answer

See graph and explanations.

Work Step by Step

Using the graph in the exercise, given the curve of $y=f(x)$, we can obtain the new curve of $g(x)=-\frac{1}{2}f(x-2)$ by first shifting the original horizontally 2 units to the right, then reflecting the result around the x-axis, and finally compressing the curve to one half vertically (shown as the new red curve in the figure).
