Answer:
Isn't that just soild liquid and gas atoms?
The image is showing how the atoms change depending on which state of matter it is, so if it is a soild the atoms would be really compacted as it moves slower, if it's a liquid then it's more looser than a soild, but more compacted than a gas, and a gas is just moving a lot and has a lot more space.
^^ That would be the answer if you on the states of matter or something like that unit.
F(x) = -x+2
F(x-4) = ?
-(x+4)+2 = -x-4+2 = -x-2.
Hope this helps!
