5.6 Transforming Linear Equations

Front

What is the parent function of linear equations?

Back

Front

How does the slope of a linear equation affect its steepness?

Back

A larger slope value indicates a steeper line, while a smaller slope value indicates a less steep line.

What does it mean for a graph to be 'steeper'?

Back

A graph is 'steeper' if it rises or falls more sharply, which corresponds to a larger absolute value of the slope.

Front

Back

The graph is steeper than the parent function and moves down 1 unit.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about a linear graph?

Back

A negative slope indicates that the graph is decreasing from left to right.

Front

How do you determine if a linear equation is less steep than the parent function?

Back

Front

Back

The graph of the parent function is shifted UP 3 units.

Front

What does the term 'vertical shift' refer to in linear transformations?

Back

A vertical shift refers to moving the graph up or down without changing its slope.

Front

If a linear equation has a slope of 0, what does the graph look like?

Back

The graph is a horizontal line, indicating no change in y regardless of x.
