QuestionGraph the equation $y=-5|x|$ and describe the transformation from $f(x)=|x|$. Choose the correct option.

Studdy Solution
Now, let's describe the transformation from the parent function $f(x)=|x|$.
The negative sign in front of the absolute value function indicates a reflection across the x-axis. The factor of5 indicates a vertical stretch by a factor of5.
Therefore, the correct answer is A. The parent function $f(x)=|x|$ is vertically stretched and reflected across the $x$-axis.
