Answer 1

Answer:

the answer is c

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parent function is

$y=\dfrac{1}{x}$

The horizontally compressed and horizontally stretched is defined by the function

$y=f(bx)$

If b>1, then function f(x) horizontally compressed by a factor of b.

If 0<b<1, then function f(x) horizontally stretched by a factor of b.

If $y=-f(x)$, then graph of f(x) reflected over the x-axis.

The transformed function is

$y=-\dfrac{1}{3x}$

It  means the parent function is horizontally compressed by a factor of 3 and reflected over the x-axis.

Therefore, the correct option is C.
