Transformation of a Linear Function Worksheets

This ensemble of transformation worksheets is targeted to help high school learners gain an understanding of the transformation of a linear function and its graph. Find the indicated transformed function g(x) from its parent function f(x). Basic knowledge of translation such as horizontal shift and vertical shift; reflection, horizontal / vertical stretches and horizontal / vertical compressions are required to solve these transformation worksheet pdfs. A number of free printable worksheets are available for practice.

Translation of a Graph: Horizontal / Vertical Shift

Look at the parent function y = f(x) and shift it right, left, up or down and draw the translated graph g(x). Use the answer key to verify the vertical or horizontal shifts.

Translation of a Function: Horizontal / Vertical Shift

In this set of pdf transformation worksheets, for every linear function f(x), apply the translation and find the new translated function g(x). Follow the relevant rules f(x) + c / f(x) - c to make vertical shifts of c units up/down and f(x + c) / f(x - c) to make horizontal shifts of c units left/right.

Reflection of a Linear Function

Find the reflection of each linear function f(x). A reflection over the x- axis should display a negative sign in front of the entire function i.e. -f(x). Negate the independent variable x in f(x), for a mirror image over the y-axis.

Transformation: Vertical or Horizontal Stretch / Compression

Find the vertical stretch or compression by multiplying the function f(x) by the given factor and the horizontal stretch or compression by multiplying the independent variable x by the reciprocal of the given factor. Use the relevant rules to make the correct transformations.
