Answer :

Answer:  -5

======================================================

Explanation:

Start at -4 on the x axis.

Draw a vertical line until reaching the curve.

Then draw a horizontal line until reaching the y axis.

You should arrive at y = -5. This tells us f(-4) = -5

The input x = -4 leads to the output y = -5

The point (-4, -5) is on the graph. This is the highest point, so it's the vertex of the V shape.

See the diagram below.
