Answer:
Vertical compression
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the transformation, compare the function to the parent function and check to see if there is a horizontal or vertical shift, reflection about the x-axis or y-axis, and if there is a vertical stretch.
Lets find 2 points, one obvious one is (0,0), another point is (12,4)
y = mx + b
m is the slope
we got m = 1/3
We can eliminate answer choices C and D.
y = 1/3x + b
we need to solve for b
Plug in the point (0,0) and solve for b
0 = 1/3(0) + b
0 = 0 + b
b = 0
The equation of the line is y = 1/3x + 0, or y = 1/3x
Your answer is B.
y = mx + b
m is the slope
we got m = 1/3
We can eliminate answer choices C and D.
y = 1/3x + b
we need to solve for b
Plug in the point (0,0) and solve for b
0 = 1/3(0) + b
0 = 0 + b
b = 0
The equation of the line is y = 1/3x + 0, or y = 1/3x
Your answer is B.
First notice that the triangle with sides 
and the triangle with sides 
are similar. This is true because the angle between sides 
in the smaller triangle is clearly 
, while the angle between sides 
in the larger triangle is clearly 
. So the triangles are similar with sides corresponding to 
, respectively.
Now both triangles are
, which means there's a convenient ratio between its sides. If the length of the shortest leg is 
, then the length of the longer leg is 
and the hypotenuse has length 
.
Since
is the shortest leg in the larger triangle, it follows that 
, so 
Now both triangles are
Since
