6.1 Transformations of Graph: Translation, Scaling, Combination of transformations

(A) Translation
A translation is a movement of the graph vertically (parallel to y-axis)
or horizontally (parallel to x-axis) without changing its shape or size.

Example 1: Vertical Translation parallel to the y-axis

Consider the following graphs, where d is a positive number:


(i) y = f(x) = x 2
(ii) y = f(x) + d = x 2  d
(iii) y = f(x) – d = x 2  d .
y
y = f(x) + d

y = f(x)

y = f(x) – d
d
x
0

–d

Summary : Translation on y-variable

Translation in the y – direction means moving the graph up or down parallel to the y-axis.

Translation: Effect on equation from Effect on points of Description


y  f ( x)  d y  f ( x) graph y = f(x)
For any positive or Replace y with y  d y-coordinates changed Translate graph by d
negative d y  f ( x)  y  d  f ( x) by d units units in the positive y-
E.g., y  f ( x )  1 (p, q)  (p, q + d) direction.
 y  f ( x)  d
y  f ( x )  ( 1) Translate graph by |d|
units in the negative y-
direction.
