Question

The function ƒ(x) = 6x is vertically shrunk by a factor of ½ and translated 9 units in the negative y- direction. Select the correct graph of the resulting function.

Answer 1

Answer:

option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

since the graph y = 6x is shrunk by a factor of ½

it becomes y = 3x

to find one coordinate of this graph we put x = 1 so that we get y = 3

so one point we have is (1, 3).

and the other point is origin

[ for if you keep x = 0 then 3 × 0 = 0 so y comes 0 too.]

now this graph is translated 9 units in the negative y direction

so the point that initially was (0, 0) now becomes (0, -9).

we see that the only graph passing thru (0, -9) is C.

so the answer is option C.
