To match the parent function equations with their graphs, here’s a brief description of each:

  1. y = 2x: This is a linear function that represents a straight line with a slope of 2. It will pass through the origin (0,0) and increase steeply.

  2. y = x: This is the simplest linear function, which is a straight line with a slope of 1. It also passes through the origin and increases at a 45-degree angle.

  3. y = x^2: This is a quadratic function represented by a parabola opening upwards. The vertex is at the origin (0,0), and it curves upwards as values of x far from the origin increase.

To match the equations to their respective graphs, you would typically look for these characteristics. If you have the actual graphs available to you, you would find the linear graph that corresponds to y = 2x, the diagonal line for y = x, and the parabolic shape for y = x^2.

Please provide the specific graphs, so I can help you match them accurately!
