How is the graph of y= -1/3x related to its parent function, y= 1/x?

A. It is horizontally stretched by a factor of 3 and reflected over the x-axis.

B. It is horizontally stretched by a factor of 3 and reflected over the y-axis.

C. It is horizontally compressed by a factor of 3 and reflected over the x-axis.

D. It is horizontally compressed by a factor of 3 and reflected over the y-axis.

Answer 1

I believe that the answer is C. It is horizontally compressed by a factor of 3 and reflected over the x-axis.

Explanation:

Since you can see that the parent function is multiplied by -1/3 thats a compression and a reflection

Answer 2

Parent function

`y=(1)/(x)`

Transformed Function

`y=(-1)/(3x)`

To obtain the transformed function from parent function, Horizontally Compress the function by a factor of 3, and then reflect the function through Y axis.

Option C and D

It is horizontally compressed by a factor of 3 and reflected over y-axis or x axis.
