Front

What is the equation for the parent linear function?

Back

y = x

Front

When a dilation has a scale factor greater than one, what type of dilation is it?

Back

Enlargement

Front

Which represents the parent function shifted down two units?

Back

f(x) = x - 2

Front

What transformations are represented by f(x) = -x + 8 and g(x) = x + 4?

Back

Front

How does the equation y=1/2x compare to the parent function?

Back

Less steep

Front

What is a transformation in mathematics?

Back

A change in the position, size, or shape of a graph.

Front

What is a dilation in the context of transformations?

Back

A transformation that alters the size of a figure but not its shape.

Front

What does a negative sign in front of a function indicate?

Back

A reflection over the x-axis.

Front

What is the effect of a vertical shift on a function?

Back

It moves the graph up or down without changing its shape.

Front

What is the scale factor in a dilation?

Back

The ratio of the distance from the center of dilation to a point on the image and the distance from the center to the corresponding point on the original figure.
