Write the equation of a line with a vertical translation down 6 and a reflection across the x axis and a slope of 2.

• f(x) = 2x + 6

• f(x) = -(x -6)

• f(x) = -(2x) - 6

• f(x) = (2x -6)

Describe the 2 transformations in this function.

f(x) = -x + 3

The parent function is shown with the solid black curve. Which function shows a reflection across the y-axis?

• blue

• green

• red

Which of the following functions reflects the graph f(x)=(x-1)² ?

• g(x)= - (x-1)²

• g(x)= (x+1)²

• g(x)= (-x-1)²

• g(x)= (x-1)²-1

If the blue is f(x)=x^2, then the red must be

• g(x)=x²-5

• g(x)=x²+5

• g(x)=(x-5)²

• g(x)=(x+5)²
