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
