Linear Transformations

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

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

The linear parent function, f(x) = x, is transformed to g(x) = f(x) + 3. Describe the transformation.

• g(x) is shifted up 3 units

• g(x) is shifted down 3 units

• g(x) is shifted left 3 units

• g(x) is shifted right 3 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 shifts down 2 units.

• Graph g is steeper by a factor of 2

• Graph g is less steeper by a factor of 1/2
