TopicCurve Sketching
TypeVertical stretch y = af(x)
DifficultyModerate -0.8 This is a straightforward graph transformation question requiring only direct application of standard rules: vertical stretch multiplies y-coordinates by 2, and horizontal translation shifts x-coordinates by -3. No problem-solving or conceptual insight needed beyond recalling these basic transformation rules, making it easier than average but not trivial since students must apply transformations correctly to three specific points.
