I'm assuming that you're asking that if
then what will look like.
Well, recall the following
represents a translation (i.e movement) by -a along the x axis.
represents a reflection in the y axis.
You know what looks like, so first use one of the above to get a negative inside the bracket, and then think about what the 4 means.
It may help to write as
So it's a reflection in the y axis then movement of 4 units along the x?

Remember, I said that means a movement of -a along the x axis. Other than that, you're right.

Not quite. Remember, I said that means a movement of -a along the x axis. Other than that, you're right.
A reflection in the y-axis means nothing however, so it's a movement of 4 units to the left?

You were right in the first place because of the negative sign

What about this graph

What about this graph
The part that was originally below the x axis has been reflected in the x axis.
We call this

I meant, what would f(2-x) look like here

Reflection in the y axis, as before, and then the the movement by 2 along the x axis.
