TypeTransformation effect on key points
DifficultyEasy -1.2 This is a straightforward application of standard transformation rules for function graphs. Students need only recall that vertical stretches multiply y-coordinates and horizontal stretches divide x-coordinates, requiring no problem-solving or multi-step reasoning—purely procedural recall of basic C2 transformation facts.
