4.11.8 Lesson Summary

In this lesson, you learned how 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 helped you reach those goals:

• 4.11.1: Graphing Linear Functions
  • In this activity, you reviewed how to graph linear functions using slope-intercept form. You looked at how different slopes and $y$-intercepts changed the graphs.
• 4.11.2: Vertical Shifts
  • In this activity, you explored how changing the $y$-intercept causes a vertical shift of a linear function.
  • 4.11.2: Self Check
  • 4.11.2: Additional Resources
• 4.11.3: Horizontal Shifts
  • In this activity, you explored how horizontal shifts impact the equation of a linear function and the $x$-intercepts on a graph.
  • 4.11.3: Self-Check
  • 4.11.3: Additional Resources
• 4.11.4: Vertical Stretches and Compressions
  • In this activity, you explored how changing the slope causes vertical stretches, compressions, and reflections.
  • 4.11.4: Self-Check
  • 4.11.4: Additional Resources
• 4.11.5: Horizontal Stretches and Compressions
  • In this activity, you explored how changes to the magnitude of the input values for a function causes horizontal compressions, stretches, and reflections.
  • 4.11.5: Self-Check
  • 4.11.5: Additional Resources
• 4.11.6: Graphing Using Transformations
  • In this activity, you matched linear functions in slope-intercept form with their corresponding lines on a graph.
