1. Look again at the graph of the data from the guessing game played by the social studies
class. Compare the graph of the trend line, y = 2x – 30, to the graph of the "perfectguess" line y = x. What do they have in common? How are they different?
2. What is the parent function for linear functions?
3. How do other linear functions compare to the parent function?
4. Explain how the rate of change of a linear function affects the graph of the function.

5. Explain how positive and negative values for slope affect the graph of a line.
6. How does the graph of y = 2x – 30 compare in steepness to
the graph of its parent, y = x? What causes this difference
in the two graphs?
7. Consider the graph of any line compared to its parent.
Explain how the y-intercept makes the graph of any line
different from the graph of its parent.
8. Consider the y-intercept of the graph of y = 2x – 30. Why is
it different than the graph of the parent function, y = x?

9. How would you transform the graph of y = x to produce
the graph of y = 3x + 1?
10. How would you transform the graph of y = x to produce
1
the graph of y = x -3?

11. How would you transform the graph of y = x to produce
the graph of y = -3x + 2?

12. Explain in terms of transformations how the graphs of y = 16 + 0.07x and y = 26.1 + 0.07x
are related to each other.
13. To summarize, what characteristics of the graph of the parent function, y = x, do you
have to change to get any other linear graph?

17. REINFORCE For each transformation described below, sketch the graph that results.
Then, write the function rule that represents the transformation. Use a single graph grid
for all four graphs, and label each graph with the appropriate letter.
a. Shift the graph of y = x down 2 units.
Function rule:
b. Shift the graph from part a up 5 units.
Function rule:
c. Reflect the graph from part b over the x-axis.
Function rule:
d. Create a graph with the same y-intercept as the graph in part c, but with 4 times the
rate of change.
Function rule:
