How does the graph of a function change when you add a constant to the function?

Back

Adding a constant to a function shifts the graph vertically. If you add a positive constant, the graph shifts up; if you add a negative constant, it shifts down.

What effect does multiplying a function by a constant have on its graph?

Back

Multiplying a function by a constant affects the steepness of the graph. If the constant is greater than 1, the graph becomes steeper; if it is between 0 and 1, the graph becomes less steep.
