Write an equation for the following transformation of y=x: a vertical stretch by a factor of 4.
Vertical stretch by a factor of 4 means we have to transform the function by a unit of 4.
Given function is F(x)=x
Transformed function is ,y=4x
y=x , implies that the line is passing through origin having slope of 45°
y=4x, means the function has stretched by four units having slope 4 units or\(\tan^{-1}4\).
Answer:
y=4x
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given a equation of line, y=x
We need to find the equation of new line whose vertical stretch by a factor of 4.
\(y=f(x)\)
For vertical stretch or compress
\(y=a\cdot f(x)\)
If a>1 then vertical stretch
If 0<a<1 then vertical compress
Here vertical stretch by factor of 4
\(y=4f(x)\)
\(y=4x\)
New equation becomes y=4x
Hence, The equation of transform line is y=4x
