Concept

When by either y or x is multiplied by a number, functions can “stretch” or “shrink” vertically or horizontally, respectively, when graphed.

The original function is y = x

1) The transformation that transform parent function y = x into y = 2x - 2 is:

Answer

a) a horizontal stretch is given by the equation y = 2x

b) a translation of 2 units to the RIGHT of the graph of the parent function.

2) The transformation that transform parent function y = x into y = -x is:

Answer

Reflection across the y-axis
