Question
Draw the graph of y=f(1/3x−1)−4 by moving the vertex and adjusting the width.

Transcribed Image Text:**Graph of a Quadratic Function**
The graph of \( y = f(x) \) is shown below.
The graph is a parabola opening upwards, centered at the origin (0,0) on a Cartesian coordinate plane. The x-axis ranges from -7 to 7, and the y-axis ranges from -7 to 7, with tick marks indicating each unit. The vertex of the parabola is at the origin, and it symmetrically extends upwards.
**Task**
Draw the graph of \( y = f\left(\frac{1}{3}x - 1\right) - 4 \) by moving the vertex and adjusting the width.
In this transformation:
- The expression \(\frac{1}{3}x\) indicates a horizontal stretch by a factor of 3.
- The "-1" inside the parentheses results in a horizontal shift to the right by 1 unit.
- The "-4" outside moves the graph vertically downward by 4 units.
