To find the corresponding point on the graph of \(-f(-x)\) given that the point \((7, 43)\) is on the graph of \(f(x)\), we start with the transformations:

  1. The original point \((7, 43)\) tells us that \(f(7) = 43\).
  2. When we find \(-f(-x)\), we first need to evaluate \(-f(-x)\) when \(x = -7\) (to correspond with the \(x = 7\) in \(f(x)\)):
    • Thus, we evaluate \(-f(-(-7)) = -f(7)\).
  3. Since \(f(7) = 43\), we get:
    • \(-f(7) = -43\).

Now we have evaluated \(-f(-7)\) and found it to be \(-43\). Therefore, the point on the graph of \(-f(-x)\) must be \((-7, -43)\).

The correct response is:

\((-7, -43)\)
