Question

The graph of the equation y = ax2 is shown

below. If a is multiplied by – 5, the graph of
the new equation is

Answer 1

The graph of the new equation is y = -5ax^2

Explanation:

From the question, the graph of the equation is y= ax^2

Now, multiplying a by -5, the graph of the new equation will be (-5 *a)x^2

The graph of the new equation is thus y = -5ax^2
