Step by Step
This is probably the most difficult problem in elementary Geometry. I stopped counting after about 20 steps. The trick is to follow a very carefully constructed diagram which looks simple enough until you start using it.

Answer:
The graph of y = 1/2f(x) is the graph y = x and y = -x for -4 ≤ y ≤ 0
Step-by-step explanation:
Here we note that when y = 0, x = 0
when y = -4, x = -2
The equation is therefore of the form y = m·x + c
m = slope
c = y intercept = 0
Hence the first line is y = 2·x
The second line on the right is the mirror of the first on the left with slope;
Hence the second line on the right is y = -2·x
Hence for y = 1/2 f(x) we have;
y = 1/2 × 2·x = x and y = 1/2 ×-2·x = -x
Graphing the functions, we have
