If you are given f(x) then these are the ways to manipulate the function:
- -f(x) is a reflection across the x-axis.
- f(x+a) is a horizontal shift to the left
- f(x-a) is a horizontal shift to the right
- f(x)+a is a vertical shift upwards
- f(x)-a is a vertical shift downwards
- f(-x) is a reflection across the y-axis
Following these will bring you to the answer y = -sqrt(-x)+2.

Thank you for correcting me there! I have fixed the original post.12/18/19

-f(x) is not a reflection across the origin - it is a reflection across the x-axis. A reflection across the origin is given by -f(-x). Hence, the answer is -sqrt(-x)+212/17/19
