Question

What is y=x by a vertcal stretch of 5

Answer 1

Answer: The vertical stretch of 5 in the equation y = x is defined by
`y=5x`.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is,

`y=x`

It can be written as,

`f(x)=x`

The function is defined as
`S\cdot f(x)`.

If
`S\geq 1`, then the function has a vertical stretch by a factor of S units.

If
`0<S< 1`, then the function has a vertical shrink by a factor of S units.

Since we have to find the vertical stretch of 5 in the equation y = x.

`y=5f(x)`

`y=5x`

The below figure shows the graph of y = x and
`y=5x`.
