Answer

Final Answer: The correct transformations are \(\boxed{\text{A. Vertical stretch or shrink}}\) and \(\boxed{\text{C. Reflect across } y\text{-axis}}\).

Steps

Step 1 :The function \(h(x)=|-6x|\) is a transformation of the function \(g(x)=|x|\).

Step 2 :The transformation is a vertical stretch by a factor of 6 and a reflection across the y-axis.

Step 3 :This is because the absolute value function \(|x|\) is being multiplied by -6, which stretches the graph vertically by a factor of 6 and reflects it across the y-axis.

Step 4 :Final Answer: The correct transformations are \(\boxed{\text{A. Vertical stretch or shrink}}\) and \(\boxed{\text{C. Reflect across } y\text{-axis}}\).
