The old graph was y+=+f%28x%29.
The new graph, after transformation, is y' = 3f(x'- 2)+ 4+, which can also be written as (y' -4)/3 = f(x' - 2).
(Here the accent sign ' denotes "new coordinate"; and not differentation or derivative of a variable or anything.)
Hence the transformation is
x = x' -2+
y = (y' -+4)/3
The old coordinates were (x,+y) = (4,-6).
So the new coordinates (x', y') are found by solving
4= x' - 2 => 4%2B2= x' => 6= x'
-6= (y' -4)/3 =>-6%2A3=y' -4=>-18=y' -4 =>-18%2B4=y' =>-14=y'
Hence the new coordinates are (x',+y') = (6, -14).
