Answer:


y=tan (x)/(10)

Explanation:

The base of the tangent functions is
y=\tan x.

This is also called the parent tangent function that has a period of
\pi.

The transformation that stretches the graph of
y=\tan x horizontally by a factor of B is
y=\tan (x)/(B)

From the question, the basic tangent function was stretched horizontally by a factor of 10.

This implies that
B=10

The equation of the transformed function is
y=tan (x)/(10)

The period of this function is
10\pi

See how
y=tan (x)/(10) (red graph) is horizontally stretched as compared to
y=\tan x (blue graph) in the attachment.
