Answer:
For negative sign , the graph reflects over x -axis and for 1/2 there will be a vertical compression
Step-by-step explanation:
Parent function is f(x)= x
We need to find the effect of the graph when f(x) is replaced with -1/2f(x)
When negative sign is multiplied outside f(x) like -f(x), then there will be a reflection over x-axis
When negative sign is multiplied inside f(x) like f(-x) then there will be a reflection over y-axis
When a number is multiplied outside f(x) then there will be a vertical stretch or compression
Here 1/2 is multiplied outside f(x). is less than 1 so there will be a vertical compression
For negative sign , the graph reflects over x -axis and for 1/2 there will be a vertical compression
