Answer:
Flipped over x-axis, Stretched by 4 times in y values, 1 unit to the left, and 8 units down.
Explanation:
Sign in front, outside of parentheses, if negative, represents a vertical flip.
Multiple proceeding is the amount of stretch (or compression if it is a value less than 1)
A positive value within the parentheses represents a shift to the left.
The c value of this function being negative shows a downward transition.
