Question

1.

Identify the translation of the parent function for y = [xl - 6.
6 units left
6 units up
6 unit right
6 units down

Answer 1

6 units down

Explanation:

Transformation is the movement of a point from its original position to a new position. If an object is transformed, all the point making the object is also transformed. There are four different transformations: Reflection, dilation, translation and rotation.

If y = f(x), y = f(x) + k is a translation k units up if k > 0 and is a translation k units down if k < 0

Given that the parent function is an absolute value represented by:

y = |x|

Therefore comparing y = |xl - 6 with y = f(x) + k, k < 0, therefore this is a translation of 6 units down
