Mapping Notation for

y=2log _3(-3x +9)-2

log_3 mean log base 3

not sure what that is, but it is the graph of

log_3(x)
reflected through the y-axis
shifted right by 3
stretched vertically by a factor of 2
shifted down by 2

Note that
log_3(-3x+9) = log_3(3) + log_3(3-x) = 1 + log_3(3-x)

This cancels the scale factor on the x-axis by shifting the graph up another unit in the y direction.
