(1/2) f (x - 2) = (1/2) ( l (x - 2) - 2 l - 5 ) = (1/2) l x - 4 l - 5/2 = g(x)
To find the y intercept, let x = 0 and we have
y = (1/2) l 0 - 4 l - 5/2 = (1/2) (4) - 5/2 = 2 - 5/2 = -1/2
To find the x intercepts, let y = 0
0 = (1/2) l x - 4 l - 5/2 multiply through by 2
0 = l x - 4 l - 5 add 5 to both sides
5 = l x - 4 l
So either
x - 4 = 5 or x - 4 = -5
x = 9 or x = -1
