Marcelo Booth · Answer 1

The effect of the k value within the argument of a function, when k>1, is to horizontally compress the graph of the parent function.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example, if parent function is y = x, you have a straight line passing through the Origin at a 45 degree angle, if the scales on the x and y axes are identical.
