1. **Problem Statement:** Given that $f(0) = -7$, determine which statement correctly describes the graph of $y = f(-x)$ in the $xy$-plane. 2. **Understanding the problem:** The function $y = f(-x)$ reflects the graph of $y = f(x)$ across the $y$-axis. We want to find the $y$-intercept of $y = f(-x)$, which occurs when $x=0$. 3. **Evaluate $y = f(-x)$ at $x=0$:** $$y = f(-0) = f(0) = -7$$ 4. **Interpretation:** The $y$-intercept of $y = f(-x)$ is at the point $(0, -7)$. 5. **Conclusion:** The correct statement is (D) The graph of $y = f(-x)$ has a $y$-intercept at $(0, -7)$. **Final answer:** (D)
