Graph transformations

Explore

Use the worked example below, then change one input or assumption. Predict which part of the answer must change before calculating.

Scale, then translate

Step through the two transformations. The faint curve is where the graph was before the step.

Teal: y = f(x). No comparison overlay.

Start: y = f(x)

The printed graph, with A(4,3)A(4,3), B(1,−1)B(1,-1), C(3,0)C(3,0) and asymptotes x=2x=2, y=1y=1.

  • Graph after the step you have selected
  • Images of the key points A, B and C
  • Vertical and horizontal asymptotes of the current graph
Ideas to try
  1. Look at point C. It lies on the xx-axis, so doubling does nothing to it. Then +1 lifts it to y=1y=1.
  2. Which coordinates change at each step?
