Question
**Find the specified quantity.**

**Explain the transformation of the amplitude.**

Find the amplitude of \( y = -2 \sin \left( x + \frac{\pi}{2} \right) - 3 \).

**Explanation:**
- The given function is \( y = -2 \sin \left( x + \frac{\pi}{2} \right) - 3 \).
- The amplitude of a sine function \( y = a \sin(bx + c) + d \) is the absolute value of \( a \).
- In this case, \( a = -2 \), so the amplitude is \( |a| = 2 \).
- The negative sign indicates a reflection over the x-axis, but it does not affect the amplitude value.
