Describe the transformation of y=-2/x

This transformation is known as a vertical stretch. This is the graph of a transformation of \begin{align*}y=x^2\end{align*}. The points are plotted from the vertex as right and left one and down one-half, right and left 2 and down two, right and left three and down four and one-half

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have
