Question

Describe the transformations made on this function:f(x)= -1 |x+5| - 9(stretch/compression, reflect, left/right, up/down)

Answer 1

• Horizontal Shift to the left (5 units)

Vertical Shift 9 units down

Vertical Stretch of 1 unit

Reflection

1) Examining that function and comparing it to its parent function

g(x) = |x|

2) We can state the following transformations described in that rule:

• Horizontal Shift to the left (5 units)

,

• Vertical Shift 9 units down

,

• Vertical Stretch of 1 unit

,

• Reflection
