Transformations of Linear Functions

Use the graphs of f and g to describe the transformation from the graph of f to the graph of g.

• The graph of g is a vertical translation 2 units up of the graph of f
• The graph of f is a horizontal translation two units left of g
• The graph of g is a vertical stretch by a factor of 2 of the graph of f
• The graph of g is a reflection of the graph of f

• The graph of f is shifted 6 units down to create the graph of g.

• The graph of f is less steep than the graph of g.

• The graph of f is shifted 6 units up to create the graph of g.

• The graph of f is steeper than the graph of g.

The graphs of linear functions f and g are shown on the grid. Which function is best represented by the graph of g?

How did the equation shift from the parent function? y = f(x - 4)

• Shift right by 4

• Shift left by 4

• Vertical Stretch by 4

• Shift down by 4

Describe the transformation on f(x):

f(x) + 3

• vertical stretch of 3

• shifts 3 units to the right

• shifts 3 units up

• shifts 3 units left

Which represents the parent function shifted down two units?

• f(x) = -2x

• f(x) = x - 2

• f(x) = x + 2

• f(x) = 2x

The linear parent function, f(x) = x, is transformed to g(x) = f(x) + 6. Describe the transformation.

• g(x) is shifted up 6 units

• g(x) is shifted down 6 units

• g(x) is shifted left 6 units

• g(x) is shifted right 6 units
