In this lesson, you will work to graph linear functions using different types of transformations, including vertical shifts, vertical compressions, vertical stretches, and vertical reflections.

When you finish this lesson, you will be able to:

  • Use slope-intercept form and transformations to graph linear functions.
  • Recognize the shifts made to a parent linear function to form another linear function.

Here are the activities that will help you reach those goals:

  • 4.11.1: Graphing Linear Functions
  • 4.11.2: Vertical Shifts
    • 4.11.2: Self-Check
    • 4.11.2: Additional Resources
  • 4.11.3: Horizonntal Shifts
