We have been given a parent function
and we need to transform this function into
.
We will be required to use three transformations to obtain the required function from
.
First transformation would be to shift the graph to the right by 4 units. Upon using this transformation, the function will change to
.
Second transformation would be to compress the graph vertically by half. Upon using the second transformation, the new function becomes
.
Third transformation would be to shift the graph upwards by 5 units. Upon using this last transformation, we get the new function as
.
Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
y = - 2 is the equation of a horizontal line parallel to the x- axis.
A perpendicular line is therefore a vertical line parallel to the y- axis with equation
x = c
where c is the value of the x- coordinates the line passes through.
The line passes through (4, - 2 ) with x- coordinate 4 , thus
x = 4 ← equation of perpendicular line
is slope-intercept form, which is a way of writing an equation for a line.
In this equation,
represents the slope and
represents the y-intercept.
and
are the coordinates of a point on the resulting line.
Here are some examples:
