Exploring Horizontal Scaling in Linear Equations

What does the slope of a line indicate in a graph?

• The color of the line

• The speed at which the line increases or decreases

• The length of the line

• The width of the line

How does the slope of G(x) compare to F(x) when X increases by 2 and Y increases by 1?

• G(x) has a slope of 1

• G(x) has a slope of 2

• G(x) has a slope of 1/2

• G(x) has a slope of 3

What is the result of a horizontal stretch on a graph?

• The graph moves closer to the Y axis

• The graph moves farther from the Y axis

• The graph becomes vertical

• The graph becomes a circle

In a horizontal stretch, what happens to the X value in the function?

• It is multiplied by a fraction

• It is divided by a number greater than one

• It is added to a fraction

• It is multiplied by a number greater than one

What happens to the graph of G(x) when X is multiplied by a number greater than one?

• It remains unchanged

• It becomes a vertical line

• It undergoes a horizontal compress

• It undergoes a horizontal stretch

What is a common misunderstanding about horizontal scaling transformations?

• The entire function is multiplied by a number

• Only the Y is multiplied by a number

• The graph becomes a circle

• The slope becomes zero

What is the general rule for horizontal compress?

• G(x) = F(K * X) when K is a fraction

• G(x) = F(K * X) when K is less than zero

• G(x) = F(K * X) when K is equal to one

• G(x) = F(K * X) when K is greater than one
