**Problem 20:**

\[ y = -2 - \tan \left( x + \frac{\pi}{4} \right) \]

**Graph Description:**

The graph displays a coordinate plane with the x-axis and y-axis. Both axes are marked with evenly spaced tick marks representing unit intervals.

**Analysis of the Function:**

- **Function**: The equation describes a transformation of the tangent function.
- **Translation**: The horizontal translation is by \(-\frac{\pi}{4}\), shifting the graph to the left.
- **Vertical Shift**: The graph is shifted downward by 2 units, indicated by \(-2\).
- **Periodicity**: The tangent function has a period of \(\pi\), so the graph will repeat every \(\pi\) units along the x-axis.
- **Asymptotes**: As with all tangent functions, there will be vertical asymptotes, the placement of which will be modified by the function's transformation.

Understanding these transformations will help in accurately graphing and analyzing the function's behavior on the coordinate plane provided.
