I am really bad at geometry

What is the effect on the graph of the parent function f(x) = x when f(x) is replaced with 3f(x)? a) shifts the line 3 units up b) shifts the line 3 units down c) increases the slope of the line by a factor of 3 d) decreases the slope of the line by a factor of 3

Which expression will have the same sum as 3_8 + 1/4?

Ineed with math stuff it involves graphs
