Parent Function Transformations Graphs

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

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

• Steeper; Shift up 5 units

• Steeper; Shift down 5 units

• Flatter; Shift up 5 units

• Flatter; Shift down 5 units

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

• Graph g shifted down 3 units

• Graph g shifted down 4 units

• Graph g shifted up 4 units

• Graph g reflected
