Answer

\(\boxed{\text{Final Answer: The transformations applied to the graph are a horizontal shift of 2 units to the left and a reflection in the x-axis. The equation of the final graph is } y = -mx - 2m - c}\)

Steps

Step 1 :The problem is asking for the transformations applied to the graph of a function when certain replacements are made. It also asks for the equation of the final graph after these replacements.

Step 2 :For part a), replacing \(x\) with \(x+2\) corresponds to a horizontal shift of the graph 2 units to the left. Replacing \(y\) with \(-y\) corresponds to a reflection of the graph in the x-axis.

Step 3 :The final equation of the graph can be obtained by making these replacements in the original equation \(y=f(x)\).

Step 4 :Assuming the original function is a linear function \(y = mx + c\), we can substitute \(x\) with \(x+2\) and \(y\) with \(-y\) in the equation to get the final equation.

Step 5 :The final equation of the graph after the replacements is \(y = -mx - 2m - c\). This equation represents a line that has been shifted 2 units to the left and reflected in the x-axis.

Step 6 :\(\boxed{\text{Final Answer: The transformations applied to the graph are a horizontal shift of 2 units to the left and a reflection in the x-axis. The equation of the final graph is } y = -mx - 2m - c}\)
