Unless you give us a question using its exact wording, we have no other way to know what help you need.

like they ask me to find the k from the graphs of f(x)=x^2. and the graph of g(x)=kx^2

Look at these three plots: $x^2,~3x^2,~\&~\frac{1}{3}x^2$

Starting with $x^2$ which is stretched and which is compressed.
