identify the factor $k$ for the vertical compression from the original function $y = |x + 6|$ to the dilated function $y = \frac{1}{2}|x + 6|$. enter your response as a fraction. (1 point)
$k=\square$

Explanation:

Step1: Recall vertical dilation rule

For a function $y=f(x)$, a vertical dilation by factor $k$ gives $y=kf(x)$, where $0

Step2: Match original and dilated functions

Original: $y=|x+6|$, Dilated: $y=\frac{1}{2}|x+6|$. Compare to $y=kf(x)$.

Answer:

$\frac{1}{2}$
