To determine the value of and whether the transformation is a compression or a stretch, we can analyze the given ordered pairs.
The original ordered pair is and the transformed ordered pair is . From this, we can see that the y-coordinates remain the same (both are 9), while the x-coordinates change from 2 to 6.
This transformation affects the x-coordinate. We can conceptualize this transformation as changing by a factor of :
Since the value of is greater than 1, it indicates a stretch in the x-direction. In general, a stretch occurs when and a compression occurs when .
Based on the options provided, the correct identification would be:
So the answer is Three stretch.
