problem set iconstudents working on mathApply your knowledge of transformations by completing the following assignment. Follow each set of instructions as you complete each problem.

This activity is available below or in a printable document.

 

Part I

Explain the transformations of y = x given by each equation.

  1. y = x + 5

  2. y = 3/8x

  3. y = −x − 2

  4. y = 6x + 1

  5. y = x − 11

  6. y = 8x

  7. y = −1/3x

Part II

Graph each line after the given transformations of y = x.

  1. A translation 4 units down

  2. A stretch by a factor of 3

  3. A reflection and a translation 1 unit up
