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
