if moves it up
if moves it down
in your case , so passes through origin and does not move


if stretches it in the y-direction
if compresses it
in your case or , so compresses times in -direction
since , will be flipped upside down :



since reflects it about x-axis

so, compressed times in -direction , flipped upside down, and reflected about x-axis
