Graphing a Linear Equation as a Transformation of the Parent Function
In prior math courses, you explored four different transformations: translations, rotations, reflections, and dilations.
Transformation | Definition | Description |
---|---|---|
Translation | Each point on a figure is moved the same distance and in the same direction | A slide |
Rotation | A figure is rotated about a point | A turn |
Reflection | A figure is reflected over a line | A flip |
Dilation | A figure is enlarged or reduced | A stretch or a shrink |
