Use the image to answer the question.

A coordinate plane's axes range from negative 5 to 5, both by 1-unit increments. 2 functions are plotted, 1 solid and 1 dotted. The solid function is labeled 'Function upper A' and the dotted function is labeled 'Function upper B.'

To accurately describe the transformations from Function A to Function B, we need to consider how the characteristics of the graph have changed.

  1. If Function B appears wider than Function A, then the transformation is a horizontal stretch. If it appears narrower, it's a horizontal compression.
  2. If Function B is shifted to the right compared to Function A, the transformation is a rightward shift. If it's shifted to the left, that indicates a leftward shift.

Based on the descriptions provided, you will need to identify how Function B relates to Function A visually (i.e., whether it's wider or narrower and whether it's shifted left or right).

Assuming we had a visual indication that Function B is wider and has been shifted right by 2 units, the correct choice would be:

wider and shifted right 2 units.

If Function B is narrower and shifted left, then the correct choice would be:

narrower and shifted left 2 units.

Please verify the characteristics of Function B to select the appropriate transformation response.
