Exploring Horizontal Scaling in Linear Equations

In this video, we compare the slopes and y-intercepts of different functions to understand how they are alike and different. By examining graphs and tables of values, we observe how the scaling affects the position of the functions in relation to the x and y axes. Through algebraic representations, we learn that multiplying the x variable by a number between zero and one results in a horizontal stretch, while multiplying it by a number greater than one leads to a horizontal compress.
