he graph of y = x2 is shown below.
The graph of a upward facing parabola is shown on a coordinate plane. The parabola has a vertex at left-parenthesis 0 comma 0 right-parenthesis and is symmetric over the y-axis. The parabola is labeled y equals x squared.
If graphed on the same grid, which of the following could be the graph of y = 0.4x2?
(1 point)
The graph of y = 0.4x2 would be a narrower, stretched out version of the original y = x2 graph. The vertex would still be at (0,0), but the parabola would open up gradually instead of rapidly. It would intersect the y-axis at a lower point than the original graph.
One possible graph of y = 0.4x2 could be a parabola with a vertex at (0,0) and opening up, but not as sharply as the y = x2 graph. It would still be symmetric over the y-axis, but appear narrower.
