Identify the parent function that can be used to graph the function f (x) = -8 [x-2]

f (x) = x

Step-by-step explanation:

By starting with the given function f (x) = -8 [x-2], we can get back to the original parent function by going through the following reverse steps.

Given:

f (x) = -8 [x-2] translate 2 units in the negative x-direction

f (x) = -8 x reflect about the x-axis

f (x) = 8x dilate (scale) by 1/8

f (x) = x = ==> Parent function
