Question
![**Question:**
For what value of \( x \) is \( g(x) = -2 \)?
\( x = \) [ ]
**Graph Explanation:**
The graph provided shows a function \( g(x) \), plotted on a coordinate plane with \( x \)-axis and \( y \)-axis ranging from -8 to 8. The function is represented by a blue curve that starts from approximately \((-4, 5)\), descends through the points, and ends around \((6, -6)\).
The graph shows several critical points:
- At \( (0, 3) \), the graph passes through the y-axis.
- It intersects the x-axis at approximately \( (3, 0) \).
- The y-coordinate descends further to reach \( g(x) = -2\) around \( x = 5 \).
Thus, to find the value of \( x \) for which \( g(x) = -2 \), locate the point on the x-axis corresponding to a \( y \)-value of \(-2\). In this graph, it occurs at approximately \( x = 5 \).](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F02363072-fb70-4df5-b258-6a680878c580%2F06a5dd69-1a11-45db-9b68-df0f970e0501%2Fja9blcn_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
