Expert Solution
Question 1

Given,

y= a|x|

When we multiply the above equation by -3,

The new graph becomes,

1) Narrower and open downward is the required answer.

Considering a to be a random integer the graph is provided for the situation for better understanding.

Red curve is a|x| and the blue one is of that of -3a|x| in the graph.
