Transformations 
In this section we relate graphs using 
transformations, which are functions that map 
real numbers to real numbers. 
Rigid transformations, which leave the size and 
shape of a graph unchanged, include horizontal 
translations, vertical translations, reflections, or 
any combination of these. 
Nonrigid transformations, which generally 
distort the shape of a graph, include horizontal or 
vertical stretches and shrinks.

Vertical and Horizontal Translations 
Let c be a positive real number. Then the following 
transformations result in translations of the graph of 
y = f(x). 
Horizontal Translations 
y = f(x – c) a translation to the right by c units 
y = f(x + c) a translation to the left by c units 
Vertical Translations 
y = f(x) + c a translation up by c units 
y = f(x) – c a translation down by c units

Example Vertical Translations 
Describe how the graph of f (x)  x can 
be transformed to the graph of y  x  4.

Solution 
Describe how the graph of f (x)  x can 
be transformed to the graph of y  x  4. 
It is a translation 
down by 4 units.

Translations

or horizontal translation y2 . Write an equation for y2 .

or horizontal translation y2 . Write an equation for y2 .

(c) y2  x  33

Reflections 
The following transformations result in 
reflections of the graph of y = f(x): 
Across the x-axis 
y = –f(x) 
Across the y-axis 
y = f(–x) 
Copyright © 2011 Pearson, Inc. Slide 1.6 - 9
Graphing Absolute Value Compositions 
Given the graph of y = f(x), 
the graph y = |f(x)| can be obtained by reflecting 
the portion of the graph below the x-axis across the 
x-axis, leaving the portion above the x-axis 
unchanged; 
the graph of y = f(|x|) can be obtained by replacing 
the portion of the graph to the left of the y-axis by a 
reflection of the portion to the right of the y-axis 
across the y-axis, leaving the portion to the right of 
the y-axis unchanged. (The result will show even 
symmetry.)

Stretches and Shrinks

transformations result in stretches or shrinks of the 
graph of y  f (x):
