Question 1012214: The effects on the graph of the linear parent function,f(x)=x,are described below.
�Reflection over the x axis
�Vertical compression by a scale factor of 0.5
�Horizontal shift of 4 units to the right
�Vertical shift of 3 units down
What function could be used to represent the transformed linear parent function?

,are described below.
�Reflection over the axis:
-f (x) reflects f (x) over the x-axis
->Our new line has negative slope.

�Vertical compression by a scale factor of :
f (ax) stretches/compresses f (x) horizontally
if 0 < a < 1 (a fraction), the graph is stretched horizontally by a factor
of a units.
if a > 1, the graph is compressed horizontally by a factor of a units.
if a should be negative, the horizontal compression or horizontal stretching of the graph is followed by a reflection of the graph across the y-axis.
a f (x) stretches/compresses f (x) vertically

if 0 < a < 1 (a fraction), the graph is compressed vertically by a factor
of a units.
if a > 1, the graph is stretched vertically by a factor of a units.
If a should be negative, then the vertical compression or vertical stretching of the graph is followed by a reflection across the x-axis.

�Horizontal shift of units to the right:
f (x + a) translates f (x) horizontally
if a > 0, the graph translates (slides) to the right.
if a < 0, the graph translates (slides) to the left.

�Vertical shift of units down:
f (x)+ a translates f (x) vertically
if a > 0, the graph translates (slides) upward.
if a < 0, the graph translates (slides)
downward.
