13.3 Transformations of graphs — Practise
Work independently. Questions and answers are checked from the same problem bank. Questions marked H extend the Higher work.
- H Translate up 4 units. Write its new equation.
- H Translate 3 units right. Write its new equation.
- H Translate 2 units left and 1 unit up. Give the equation and turning point.
- H Reflect in the -axis. Give the new equation.
- H Reflect in the -axis. Give the new equation.
- H The point lies on . State its image after reflection in the -axis.
- H The point lies on . State its image after reflection in the -axis.
- H The point lies on . State its image under .
- H H Starting with , reflect in the -axis, then translate 3 units right and 2 units up. Write the transformed rule.
