Answer:

Vertical Stretch of 5.

General Formulas and Concepts:

Alg II

Transformations

Parent Graph Transformations: y = ax + b

  • a = vertical shrink/stretch
  • b = vertical movement up/down

Explanation:

Step 1: Define equation

Parent Graph: f(x) = x

Transformed Graph: g(x) = 5x

Step 2: Break

We see that we are increasing the slope. Therefore, it will have a steeper slope. That means we are manipulating the a variable and thus have a vertical stretch of a factor of 5.
