1. **State the problem:** We need to find two points with integer coordinates on the graph of the function $$f(x) = -4^{x+5} + 6$$ and identify the asymptote.
2. **Identify the asymptote:** For exponential functions of the form $$f(x) = a^{x} + k$$, the horizontal asymptote is $$y = k$$.
Here, the function is $$f(x) = -4^{x+5} + 6$$, so the horizontal asymptote is $$y = 6$$.
3. **Find two points:** Choose integer values for $$x$$ and calculate $$f(x)$$.
- For $$x = -5$$:
$$f(-5) = -4^{-5+5} + 6 = -4^{0} + 6 = -1 + 6 = 5$$
Point: $$(-5, 5)$$
- For $$x = -4$$:
$$f(-4) = -4^{-4+5} + 6 = -4^{1} + 6 = -4 + 6 = 2$$
Point: $$(-4, 2)$$
4. **Summary:**
- The asymptote is horizontal at $$y = 6$$.
- Two points to plot are $$(-5, 5)$$ and $$(-4, 2)$$.
These points show the exponential decay reflected across the x-axis, shifted left by 5 units and up by 6 units.
