Linear Function Transformation

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

• g(x) is translated up 6 units

• g(x) is translated down 6 units

• g(x) is translated left 6 units

• g(x) is translated right 6 units

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

• Graph g is a reflection.

• Graph g translated down 2 units.

• Graph g is steeper.

• Graph g is less steep.

How does the graph of g(x) compare to f(x)?

• g(x) is steeper and translated down from f(x)

• g(x) is steeper and translated up from f(x)

• g(x) is less steep and translated down from from f(x)

• g(x) is less steep and translated up from f(x)

Describe the transformation from the parent function: y = 3x + 5

• Steeper; translated up 5 units

• Steeper; translated down 5 units

• Less steep; translated up 5 units

• Less steep; translated down 5 units

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

• g(x) is shifted up 6 units
