Question

The function ƒ(x) = 4x + 1 is transformed to g(x) = 2x + 1. What type of transformation has occurred? A) Reflection and Vertical Translation B) Rotation C) Reflection D) Rotation and Vertical Translation

Answer 1

rotation

Explanation:

Answer 2

B) Rotation

Explanation:

The only difference between functions f(x) and g(x) is the slope. To get from f(x)=4x+1 to g(x)=2x+1, you would need to rotate slightly clockwise about point (0,1) - the y-intercept. This would make the graph less steep (2x is less steep than 4x) while still retaining the (0,1) y intercept.
