-2 because you have to reduce
Given : f(x)= 3|x-2| -5
f(x) is translated 3 units down and 4 units to the left
If any function is translated down then we subtract the units at the end
If any function is translated left then we add the units with x inside the absolute sign
f(x)= 3|x-2| -5
f(x) is translated 3 units down
subtract 3 at the end, so f(x) becomes
f(x)= 3|x-2| -5 -3
f(x) is translated 4 units to the left
Add 4 with x inside the absolute sign, f(x) becomes
f(x)= 3|x-2 + 4| -5 -3
We simplify it and replace f(x) by g(x)
g(x) = 3|x + 2| - 8
a= 3, h = -2 , k = -8
