Describe the Transformations and Give the Equation for the Graph $f ( x ) = | x |$

question 108

Multiple Choice

Describe the transformations and give the equation for the graph.
-

• A) It is the graph of \(f ( x ) = | x |\) shrunken vertically by a factor of 8 and translated 9 units down. The equation is \(y = 8 | x | + 9\)
• B) It is the graph of \(f ( x ) = | x |\) stretched vertically by a factor of 8 and translated 9 units down. The equation is \(y = 8 | x | - 9\)
• C) It is the graph of \(f ( x ) = | x |\) stretched vertically by a factor of 8 and translated 9 units down. The equation is \(y = \frac { 1 } { 8 } | x | + 9\)
• D) It is the graph of \(f ( x ) = | x |\) shrunken vertically by a factor of 8 and translated 9 units down. The equation is \(\mathrm { y } = \frac { 1 } { 8 } | \mathrm { x } | - 9\)
