Answer

Period: $\pi$ See graph below

Work Step by Step

For a function $f(x) = a \tan c (x - h) + k$ The period will be $\frac{ \pi}{|c|}$ The horizontal shift will be h units The vertical shift will be k units The question asks for the period, horizontal shift, and graph of the function. Given $y = -3 \tan x$ The period will be $\frac{\pi}{|1|} = \pi$ No horizontal shift No vertical shift. See graph below
