Use the image to answer the question.

An upward open parabola passes through 5 plotted points on a coordinate plane with x-axis ranging from negative 12 to 12 in increments of 2 and y-axis ranging from negative 6 to 18 in increments of 2.

Interpret the key features of the graph. What type of transformation occurred from the parent function?

This is a vertical stretch of the parent function y=x2
due to the changes in the x-coordinates of each point.
This is a vertical stretch of the parent function y equals x squared due to the changes in the x -coordinates of each point.

From the information given, the correct interpretation of the transformation that occurred from the parent function \(y = x^2\) is:

This is a vertical stretch of the parent function \(y = x^2\) due to the changes in the y-coordinates of each point.

This response indicates that the points plotted on the graph have y-values that are higher than those typically found on the graph of the parent function, suggesting a vertical stretch.
