ANSWER
A.) The graph of f(x) is horizontally compressed.
EXPLANATION
The given absolute value function is
[tex]f(x) = - 6 |x + 5| - 2[/tex]
The parent function is
[tex]y = |x| [/tex]
Since the factor -6 has an absolute value greater than 1, the graph of the given function will be narrower than the graph of the base function.
Hence the graph is horizontally stretched by a factor of 6.
The graph opens downwards because of the negative sign.
It has vertex at (-5,-2)
