Q. The graph of y=∣x∣ is reflected across the x-axis and then scaled vertically by a factor of 35.What is the equation of the new graph?Choose 1 answer:(A) y=−35∣x∣(B) y=53∣x∣(C) y=−∣x−5∣+3(D) y=∣x−3∣+5
Reflecting the graph across the x-axis: Reflect the graph of y=∣x∣ across the x-axis. To reflect a graph across the x-axis, we multiply the output (y-value) by −1. This changes the sign of the y-values, effectively flipping the graph over the x-axis. The equation of the reflected graph is y=−∣x∣.
Scaling the reflected graph vertically: Scale the reflected graph vertically by a factor of 35. To scale a graph vertically, we multiply the output (y-value) by the scaling factor. In this case, we multiply the equation from Step 1 by 35 to get the new equation. The equation of the scaled graph is y=−(35)∣x∣.
Matching the equation with answer choices: Match the equation obtained in Step 2 with the given answer choices. The equation y=−(35)∣x∣ corresponds to answer choice (A).
