Transformations Worksheet
Without using your graphing calculator, describe the transformations of 𝒚 = 𝒂 |𝒙 − 𝒉| + 𝒌 to the parent
function 𝒚 = |𝒙| to create the following functions. For the function (a) tell whether the graph is reflected
over the x-axis, (b) whether it is a vertical stretch or shrink, (c) whether it moves right or left, and
(d) identify the vertex (h, k).
1. y x2 2. y x 3
Transformation: Transformation:
Vertex (2, 0); graph shifts right 2 units Vertex (0, 3); shifts up 3 units
3. y 2x3 4. y 3x
Transformation: Transformation:
Vertex (-3, 0); vertical stretch by a factor of 2; Vertex (0,0); vertical stretch by factor of 3;
shifts left 3
5. y 2 ( x 3) 1 6. y 2x 8
Transformation: Transformation:
Vertex (-3, -1); reflects across the x-axis; Vertex (-8, 0); vertical stretch by a factor of 2;
Vertical stretch by a factor of 2; shifts left 8
Shifts left 3 units and down 1 unit
Equation: 𝒚 = 𝟐|𝒙 + 𝟑| − 𝟒
