### Graph Transformation Explanation

The problem requires us to apply transformations to the graph of a function \( f(x) \) to obtain the graph of \( g(x) \), where \( g(x) = -f(x+1) - 2 \).

#### Left Graph: \( y = f(x) \)
- This graph shows the function \( f(x) \) plotted on a coordinate plane.
- Key points:
  - Starts at approximately (-4, -3).
  - Moves through (-3, -1), (0, 1), (1, 0), and (2, 1).

#### Right Graph: Graph of \( g(x) = -f(x+1) - 2 \)
- This grid is set up for you to plot \( g(x) \), which involves several transformations of \( f(x) \).

### Transformations Applied
1. **Horizontal Shift:** 
   - Substitute \( x+1 \): This involves a shift 1 unit to the left.
2. **Reflection:**
   - The negative sign (\(-f(x+1)\)) reflects the graph over the x-axis.
3. **Vertical Shift:**
   - Subtracting 2 \((-2)\) translates the graph 2 units down.

By applying these transformations, you can plot the new function \( g(x) \). 

Start by taking each point from \( f(x) \), applying the transformations, and connecting the points accordingly to complete \( g(x) \).
