3.6 Day 1 - Translations and Reflections of Linear Functions

Front

What is a reflection in the y-axis?

Back

A transformation that flips a graph over the y-axis, changing the sign of the x-coordinates of all points on the graph.

What is a reflection in the x-axis?

Back

A transformation that flips a graph over the x-axis, changing the sign of the y-coordinates of all points on the graph.

Front

What does a vertical translation down 2 mean?

Back

A transformation that moves the graph down by 2 units, subtracting 2 from the y-coordinates of all points on the graph.

Front

What does a vertical translation up 3 mean?

Back

A transformation that moves the graph up by 3 units, adding 3 to the y-coordinates of all points on the graph.

Front

What does a horizontal translation left 1 mean?

Back

A transformation that moves the graph left by 1 unit, subtracting 1 from the x-coordinates of all points on the graph.

Front

What does a horizontal translation right 1 mean?

Back

A transformation that moves the graph right by 1 unit, adding 1 to the x-coordinates of all points on the graph.

What is the effect of subtracting a constant from a function?

Back

Subtracting a constant from a function translates the graph vertically down by that constant's value.
