• B) Shift the graph of the reciprocal function right 3 units, stretch vertically by a factor of 22, and then shift 7 units up.
• C) Shift the graph of the reciprocal function left 3 units, stretch vertically by a factor of 22 , and then shift 7 units down.
• D) Shift the graph of the reciprocal function left 3 units, stretch vertically by a factor of 22 , and then shift 7 units up.
