ANSWER
It was stretched by a factor of 3 and translated by 7 units to the right
EXPLANATION
The function given is:
y = 3|x - 7|
The parent function of an absolute value function as this is:
y = |x|
When an absolute value function is transformed, it can be represented by:
y = a|x - h| + k
where a = factor of dilation
h = horizontal shift or translation (left or right shift)
k = vertical shift or translation (up or down shift)
Therefore, for the function given:
a = 3
h = 7
This tells us that the function was stretched by a factor of 3, and it was also translated by 7 units to the right.
