Answer:
The parent function is: y = x
First, here we have two types of transformations, and we could define them in a general way as:
if we start with a function f(x)
Vertical dilation/contraction: A vertical dilation/contraction of scale factor A (A is always positive) is written as:
g(x) = A*f(x)
Vertical translation:
We can write a vertical translation of A units upwards as:
g(x) = f(x) + A
And a vertical translations of A units down can be written as:
g(x) = f(x) - A.
In this case, the transformations are:
first, a dilation of scale factor 8.
Then a translation down of 21 units
then another translation down of 7 units.
y = 8*X - 21 - 7
y = 8*x - 28.
As this is a linear equation, there are no axis of symmetry, we only could have a line of symmetry along the same line y = 8*x - 28
Again, as this function is a linear equation there is no vertex.
