→When the absolute value of the number in front of x is greater than 1, the function on the graph narrows. When the absolute value of the number in front of x is less than 1, the function on the graph widens.
<u>In this case, the number is less than 1, making it grow wider. And as a result of it growing wider, it also becomes less steep.</u>
