The graph of $y = -3x^2$ can be obtained from $y = x^2$ by stretching it vertically by a factor of 3 (due to the coefficient 3) and reflecting it across the x-axis (due to the negative sign).

Fill in Each Blank with the Appropriate Response y=−3x2y = - 3 x ^ { 2 }y=−3x2

Fill in Each Blank with the Appropriate Response $y = - 3 x ^ { 2 }$
