Transformations of Points HW Name _________________________

1. For the following points, write the point that results from the transformation described.
a. (2, 3) is moved right by 3: b. (-5, 7) is moved down by 3:

c. (7, -3) is moved up by 5: d. (5, -2) is moved left by 3:

e. (1, -5) is reflected about the x-axis: f. (3, 1) is reflected about the y-axis:

g. (2, 2) is stretched horizontally by a factor of 2: h. (2, 2) is moved right by 2:

i. (-3, -1) is stretched vertically by a factor of 3: j. (-6, 3) is compressed horizontally by a factor

of three:

2. For the following transformations, write the effect on any point (x, y) under the transformation described.
Write your new points in ordered pair form: ( , ). I have done the first one for you.
a. Translated right by 7: b. Translated down by 2:
(x+7, y)
c. Translated left by 4: d. Translated up by 2:

e. Reflected about the y-axis: f. Reflected about the x-axis:

g. Stretched horizontally by a factor of 3: h. Stretched vertically by a factor of 3:

i. Compressed horizontally by a factor of 2: j. Compressed vertically by a factor of 2:

3. If the point (3, 6) becomes the point (2, 6) what transformation(s) must it have undergone? Describe in
words:

4. If the point (-2, 5) becomes the point (-2, 18), what transformation(s) must it have undergone?

5. If the point (-3, 4) becomes the point (-1, 7), what transformation(s) must it have undergone?

6. If the point (2, 3) becomes the point (-3, -2), what transformation(s) must it have undergone?

7. If the point (-7, -4) becomes the point (-7, -1), write two possible transformations it might have undergone.

8. If the point (-5, -2) becomes the point (-5, 2), write two possible transformations it might have undergone.
9. If the point (7, 18) becomes the point (7, 6), write two possible transformations it might have undergone.

10. If the point (5, 9) becomes the point (5, 4.5), write two possible transformations it might have undergone.

On the following problems you will be given a graph of a point on the coordinate plane. Transform the point on
the graph according to the description and write the new point right on the graph in coordinate form.

11. a. b.

Reflect across y-axis and translate down 3. Translate up by 5 and left by 14.

On the following problems you will be given a graph of two points on the coordinate plane. Describe a
transformation of point A which turns it into point B in the space below each graph.

12. a. b.

13. Below is a table of values for the function f(x) = x2. The graph of this function is also shown.

x f(x)

-2 4

-1 1

0 0

1 1

2 4

a. As you can see from the table, this function contains the point (-2,4). What other four points does the
table show?

b. If the point (-2,4) is shifted down by 5, it becomes (-2,-1). What do the other four points (that you listed
in Part a) become if they are all shifted down by 5?

c. What function would also generate all the points you listed in Part (b)?

d. Draw a quick graph of the function you wrote in Part (c), directly on the grid above.
