Multiplying the parent graph by a number whose absolute value is greater than one causes the parent graph to ___

1 answer

Multiplying the parent graph by a number whose absolute value is greater than one causes the parent graph to stretch vertically. This means that the graph will be pulled away from the x-axis, making it taller without changing its horizontal characteristics. If the number is negative, it will also reflect the graph across the x-axis in addition to stretching it.
