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

Which transformation will occur if f(x) = x is replaced with 2f(x)?

• Vertical stretch by a factor of 2

• Vertical compression by a factor of 1/2

• Vertical translation up by 2 units.

• Horizontal compression by a factor of 1/2

Which transformation will occur if f(x) = x is replaced with f(x) + 2?

• Translation left 2 units
• Translation right 2 units
• Vertical translation up by 2 units.
• Reflection across the x-axis.

How did the equation shift from the parent function?

y = f(x) + c

• Shifted up "c" units

• Shifted down "c" units

• Stretches vertically

• Shifted right "c" units

Which transformation on

f(x) = x

is g(x) = -f(x)

• Reflection across the y-axis

• The slope will be less steep

• The graph will be wider

• Reflection across the x-axis.

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

• Shift right by 4

• Shift left by 4

• Horizontal Stretch by 4

• Vertical Stretch by 4

• Shift down by 4

How did the equation f(x) = x change if

g(x) = 1/2f(x) + 11

• Vertical stretch and shift up 11

• Horizontal shrink and shift down 11

• Vertical shrink and shift up 11

• Horizontal stretch and shift down 11

If the graph of the parent function f(x) = x is shifted 7 units up and is horizontally compressed by a factor of 3, what is the function?

• g(x) = f(7x) + 3
• g(x) = 3f(x) - 7
• g(x) = f(3x) + 7
• g(x) = 7x - 3

How did the equation shift from the parent function? y = f(x + 7)

• Up 7
• Down 7
• Left 7
• Right 7

• 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.
