As below.

Standard form of cosine function is $y = A cos (Bx - C) + D$

$"Given " y = -2 cos x + 1$

$A = -2, B = 1, C = 0, D = 1$

$Amplitude = |A| = |-2| = 2$

$"Period " = (2pi) / |B| = (2pi) / 1 = 2pi$

$"Phase Shift " = -C / B = 0$

$"Vertical Shift " = D = 1$

graph{-2 cos x + 1 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
