Linear Function Graphs and Transformations

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

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 4 units up from the graph f
• The graph of g is a horizontal translation of the graph of f, 4 units right
• The graph of g is a horizontal translation of the graph of f, 4 units left
• The graph of g is a vertical stretch of the graph of f, by a factor of 7

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

• Vertical stretch by a factor of 2

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

• 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
