1. The problem is to find two points to plot for the function $f(x) = -(x + 6)^2$. 2. To find points, choose values for $x$ and calculate corresponding $f(x)$ values. 3. Let's pick $x = -6$ and $x = -5$ for simplicity. 4. For $x = -6$: $$f(-6) = -((-6) + 6)^2 = -(0)^2 = 0$$ so the point is $(-6, 0)$. 5. For $x = -5$: $$f(-5) = -((-5) + 6)^2 = -(1)^2 = -1$$ so the point is $(-5, -1)$. 6. These two points $(-6, 0)$ and $(-5, -1)$ can be plotted to start graphing the function.
