Question

Describe a way to transform each graph so that it goes through the labeled points.

Answer 1

Answer:

• reflect in x-axis
• T(-1, -1)
• reflect in x-axis
• scale vertically by 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

There are several ways to transform each graph. You can translate it, scale it*, or both. Here are some possibilities.

(a) reflect across the x-axis. The given point has an opposite y-value of one that is on the graph.

(b) translate down 1 and left 1. The graph goes through (0, 1). To make it go through (-1, 0), we need to translate by (-1, -1).

(c) reflect across the x-axis. The given point has an opposite y-value of one that is on the graph.

(d) scale vertically by a factor of 1/2. The given points have half the y-value of points on the graph.
