1. **State the problem:** We are given a function $y = f(x)$ represented by points $(-3, 2), (-2, 4), (-1, 2)$ forming a "tent" shape. We need to find the transformed function $h(x) = -f(x - 3) + 5$ and describe how the graph changes.
2. **Understand the transformation:** The function $h(x) = -f(x - 3) + 5$ involves three transformations:
- Horizontal shift right by 3 units (replace $x$ by $x-3$).
- Reflection about the x-axis (multiply the function by $-1$).
- Vertical shift up by 5 units (add 5).
3. **Apply transformations to each point:**
- Original points: $(-3, 2), (-2, 4), (-1, 2)$.
- Shift $x$ by 3: new $x$ values are $-3+3=0$, $-2+3=1$, $-1+3=2$.
- Evaluate $f(x-3)$ at these points: $f(0)=2$, $f(1)=4$, $f(2)=2$ (using original $f$ values at shifted $x$).
- Reflect and shift vertically: $h(x) = -f(x-3) + 5$.
4. **Calculate $h(x)$ values:**
- At $x=0$: $h(0) = -f(0) + 5 = -2 + 5 = 3$.
- At $x=1$: $h(1) = -f(1) + 5 = -4 + 5 = 1$.
- At $x=2$: $h(2) = -f(2) + 5 = -2 + 5 = 3$.
5. **Plot and label:**
- The transformed graph $h(x)$ has points $(0, 3), (1, 1), (2, 3)$ forming an inverted "tent" shape shifted right and up.
**Final answer:** The graph of $h(x) = -f(x - 3) + 5$ is the original graph shifted right by 3 units, reflected over the x-axis, and shifted up by 5 units, with points $(0, 3), (1, 1), (2, 3)$.
