h, is a _______________________ translation.

If h > 0, the graph is a horizontal translation __________ from the parent function. Example: 𝑓(𝑥) = (𝑥 − 4)

If h < 0, the graph is a horizontal translation ____________ from the parent function. Example: 𝑓(𝑥) = (𝑥 + 3)

b, is a _____________________ over the y-axis and a ___________________________ _____________________.

If b < 0, the graph reflects over the ___________ Example: 𝑓(𝑥) = (−𝑥)

If |b| > 1, the graph is a __________________ ____________ by a factor of _____from the parent function. Example: 𝑓(𝑥) = (5𝑥)

If 0 <|b| < 1, the graph is a ________________ ____________ by a factor of ____from the parent function. Example: 𝑓(𝑥) = ( 𝑥)

k, is a _____________________ translation.

If k > 0, the graph is a vertical translation __________ from the parent function. Example: 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 + 2

If k < 0, the graph is a vertical translation ____________ from the parent function. Example: 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 − 7

a, is a ______________________ over the x-axis and a ________________________ ___________________.

If a > 0, the graph opens _______ Example: 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥

If a < 0, the graph opens ____________ Example: 𝑓(𝑥) = −𝑥

If |a| > 1, the graph is a ___________________ _____________ by a factor of _____ from the parent function. Example: 𝑓(𝑥) = 2𝑥

If 0 <|a| < 1, the graph is a _________________ __________ by a factor of _____ from the parent function. Example: 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥

The rules above can be applied to any function f(x).
