Q. The graph of y=x y=|x| is reflected across the x x -axis and then scaled vertically by a factor of 53 \frac{5}{3} .\newlineWhat is the equation of the new graph?\newlineChoose 11 answer:\newline(A) y=53x y=-\frac{5}{3}|x| \newline(B) y=35x y=\frac{3}{5}|x| \newline(C) y=x5+3 y=-|x-5|+3 \newline(D) y=x3+5 y=|x-3|+5
  1. Reflecting the graph across the x-axis: Reflect the graph of y=xy=|x| across the x-axis. To reflect a graph across the x-axis, we multiply the output (yy-value) by 1-1. This changes the sign of the yy-values, effectively flipping the graph over the x-axis. The equation of the reflected graph is y=xy=-|x|.
  2. Scaling the reflected graph vertically: Scale the reflected graph vertically by a factor of 53\frac{5}{3}. To scale a graph vertically, we multiply the output (y-value) by the scaling factor. In this case, we multiply the equation from Step 11 by 53\frac{5}{3} to get the new equation. The equation of the scaled graph is y=(53)xy = -\left(\frac{5}{3}\right)|x|.
  3. Matching the equation with answer choices: Match the equation obtained in Step 22 with the given answer choices. The equation y=(53)xy=-(\frac{5}{3})|x| corresponds to answer choice (A).
