2.6 Vertical and Horizontal Translations

​

Sponge activity:

graph the absolute value equation

y = |2x + 6|

Graphing a Vertical Translation

​

Identify the parent graph and the value of k. Then graph the function by translating the parent function.

​

a. y = x - 2 b. y = |x| - 1

Writing Equations for Vertical Translations

​

Write an equation for each translation.

​

a. y = 2x, 4 units down b. y = |¼x|, ½ unit up

y = |x + h|

y = |x - h|
