Answer:
I guess that you want to know the transformations:
We start with:
f(x) = y = 4*x + 3
a)the transformed function is:
f(x) = y = -4*x - 3
So the sign changed.
This means that we go from (x, y) to (x, - y)
This is a reflection over the x-axis which changes the sin of the y component.
b) Now we go to f(x) = 4*x + 3
So the coefficient in the leading term changed.
This is a horizontal contraction:
A horizontal contraction of factor K for the function g(x) is: g(K*x)
In our case, we have:
f(K*x) = 4*(k*x) + 3 = x + 3
4*k*x = x
4*k = 1
k = 1/4
Then the transformation is an horizontal contraction of scale factor 1/4.
