Shifts on a Linear Graph

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

Given the graph above, which equation shifts line down 5 units?

• y = 4x - 1

• y = 2x - 6

• Vertical translation up by 2 units.

• Reflection across the x-axis.

Which represents the parent function shifted down two units?

If the graph of the parent function f(x) = x is shifted 7 units
down, which of the following equations would the new graphed
line represent?

• f(x) = 7x

• f(x) = x - 7

• f(x) = x + 7

• f(x) = 7x - 7
