Which graph shows the parent function f(x)=x2
horizontally compressed to form the graph of y=f(3x)
?(1 point)

An upward parabola passes through 3 plotted points. The x-axis ranges from negative 5 to 6 in 1-unit increments and the y-axis ranges from 0 to 10 in 1-unit increments.

The coordinates of the plotted points are labeled as follows: left parenthesis negative 1 comma 4 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 0 comma 0 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 1 comma 4 right parenthesis.

The fourth graph (with points (-1, 9), (0, 0), (1, 9)).

Reason: f(3x) = (3x)^2 = 9x^2, so at x = ±1 y = 9 (a horizontal compression by factor 1/3).
