if you have
compare to the graph of the parent function

where is the vertical stretch by factor if , and vertical shrink if
is the horizontal shift
and is the vertical shift

so, parent function is

=>the graph of the parent function reflected over x-axis and vertically stretched by factor
=>no horizontal shift
=> the graph of the parent function moves units down
