Equation: y = -sin

a) Midline: y = 0

b) y-intercept: 0

c) Wavelength: 

d) Amplitude: -1 (?)      No, the amplitude is always positive. It stays +1

 

         What I see from both of these graphs is they share similar properties almost entirely, except for the second graph being flipped. With that said, does that mean the amplitude will be considered -1? Or will it remain a positive always? Either way, they're incredibly similar graphs, but one appears to be flipped because of the negative. 

 

EXCELLENT.   If you times by minus -1 the graph flips over, (It reflects across the y axis)

a) Midline: y = 0

b) y-intercept: 0

c) Wavelength: 

d) Amplitude: 3

Equation: y = -3 sin x

a) Midline: y = 0

b) y-intercept: 0

c) Wavelength:

d) Amplitude: -3 (?)      +3

 

         Similarly, comparing these two graphs, the only noticeable difference is that the figure appears to be flipped because of the negative. Once again, I'm not sure if amplitude should ever be written in negatives, and if not, then the answer should be just the definite form of what is already written, I assume. I hope these are correct. 

 

That is all great, you are learning really well.
