Short Answer

In Problems 7–18, match each graph to one of the following functions:

A. y = x2+ 2 B. y = -x2 + 2 C. y = x + 2 D. y = -x+ 2 E. y = (x - 2)2 F. y = -(x + 2)2 G. y = x-2 H. y = -x+2 I. y = 2x2J. y = -2x2 K. y = 2x L. y = -2x

The given graph is matched to the function L. y=-2x.

See the step by step solution

Step by Step Solution

Step 1. Given Information 

There is the given graph we have to match each graph to its functions.

Step 2. Identifying the function of the graph 

When the right side of the function y=f(x) is multiplied by -1 the graph of the new function y=-f(x) is the reflection about the x-axis of the graph of the function y=f(x).

Thus, the function whose graph is the reflection of the graph of y=x in the x-axis is y=-x.

The given graph is a reflection in the x-axis of the graph of the function y=x but it is vertically stretched by a factor of 2.

Step 3. Stating the function of the graph 

When the right side of a function y=f(x) is multiplied by a positive number a, the graph of the new function y=af(x) is obtained by multiplying each y-coordinate on the graph of y=f(x) by a. The new graph is a vertically stretched (if a>1) version of the graph of y=f(x).

Since the graph is vertically stretched by factor of 2.

The function of the given graph is y=-2x that matched to option L.
