Answer:

D

Explanation:

For a function in the form f(x) = x, we can say:

  • the function f(x) = ax is a vertical stretch if a>1 and compress if 0<a<1
  • the function -f(x) is the original, flipped over x-axis

keeping the 2 rules in mind, we can say that

vertical stretch by a factor of 3 would make it f(x) = 3x

Then

flip over x-axis would make it f(x) = -3x

answer choice D is right
