Question

What transformation was not done to the linear parent function, f(x) = x, to get the function g(x) = - 1/2(x+5) +7

Answer 1

b; vertically compressed by a factor of 2

Explanation:

Here, we want to select from the options, the transformation that was not done on the parent function;

a) shifted up seven units

This was done

as we can see, we have + 7 from the initial 0 point

b) vertically compressed by a factor of 2

This is wrong

What we had is 1/2 multiplied by x

If there is any compressor done, it is to a factor of 1/2 and not 2

This, is thus our answer
