None of the statements is true.
Reason: f(x) = -6|x+5| - 2 is |x| shifted left 5 and down 2, then vertically stretched by factor 6 and reflected across the x-axis (because of the negative). There is no horizontal stretch/compression (the x inside has coefficient 1), it opens downward (not upward), and it does not "open to the right."
