Write an equation for the following transformation of y = x: a vertical compression by a factor of 1/2.

Options:

y = -1/2x

y = 1/2x

y = 2x

y = -2x

Please help me :)

The word "factor" should tell you that multiplication is involved. Hence,

y = (1/2)(x)

this is for Families of Function test

1. C each output for y=x-3 is 3 less than the corresponding output for y=z. The graph of y=x-3 is the graph y=x translated down 3 unit

2. B y=1/2x

3. B g(x)=-3x-2

4. D g(x)=5/4x

5. D the graph of g(x) is the graph of f(x) translated to the left 7 units and up 9 unit

hope this helped y’all gn

ily all is correct!! Thank you!!!

i’m glad i could help !! :)

Well, well, well, looking for some equation fun, huh? I've got you covered! To perform a vertical compression by a factor of 1/2, we just need to squeeze the "y" values to half of their original size. So, the correct equation is y = 1/2x. Keep calm and solve on!

To find the equation for a vertical compression by a factor of 1/2, we need to multiply the original equation y = x by the compression factor 1/2.

Multiplying the equation y = x by 1/2 gives us:

y = (1/2)x

Therefore, the correct equation for the vertical compression by a factor of 1/2 is y = (1/2)x.

Out of the given options, the correct equation is y = (1/2)x.
