Question

What transformation(s) of the graph of the parent linear function result in the graph of f(x)=x−2

?

Vertically stretch the parent function by a factor of 2.

Vertically shrink the parent function by a factor of 12
1
2
.

Shift the parent function 2 units up.

Shift the parent function 2 units down.

Shift the parent function 2 units right.

Shift the parent function 2 units left.

Answer 1

The parent function is: y = x

adding -2 affects the y-coordinates. since it is negative it will shift down 2 units.
