Question

describe how the graph of the function is related to the graph of the parent function. $y = -4x^{2}$
it is select choice , select choice , and select choice

Explanation:

Step1: Identify parent function

The parent function of $y=-4x^2$ is $y=x^2$.

Step2: Analyze coefficient sign

The negative sign ($-1$) reflects the graph over the $x$-axis.

Step3: Analyze coefficient magnitude

The coefficient $4>1$ vertically stretches the graph by a factor of 4.

Answer:

It is reflected over the x-axis, vertically stretched by a factor of 4, and has no horizontal/vertical shift.
