Given the graph of y = f(x), there is a Graphing y = af(x) y = | x |
Given the graph of y = f(x), there is a Graphing y = af(x) y = | x |
In general, for any function y = f(x), the graph of a function y = af(x) is obtained by multiplying the y-value of each point on the graph of y = f(x) by a. That is, the point (x, y) on the graph of y = f(x) is transformed into the point (x, ay) on the graph of y = af(x). If a < 0, the graph is in the x-axis Vertical Stretching and Reflecting of y = f(x)

f(x) = x 2 f(x) = (2x) f(x) = (0.5x) 2 Each point on the graph of y = (2x) 2 is half as far from the y-axis as the related point on the graph of y = x 2. The graph of y = f(2x) is a of the graph of y = f(x) by a factor of Each point on the graph of y = (0.5x) 2 is as the related point on the graph of y = x 2. The graph of y = f(0.5x) is a of the graph of y = f(x) by a factor of Horizontal Stretching of y = f(x)

In general, for any function y = f(x), the graph of the function y = f(kx) is obtained by at each point on the graph of y = f(x) by k. That is, the point (x, y) on the graph of the function y = f(x) is transformed into the point on the graph of y = f(kx). If k < 0, there is also a in the. Comparing y = f(x) With y = f(kx)
