Exercise 18 Page 8

Describe the parent function and then graph the functions in one coordinate plan.

Graph:

Transformation: A vertical translation units down.

Practice makes perfect

The given function is constant, so its parent function is We will start by graphing both functions in one coordinate plan. Then we will compare them to describe the transformation.

Graphing the Functions

Now let's plot the functions! Notice that we will get two horizontal lines. The first line will be passing through every point that has a coordinate of and the second will pass through every point with a coordinate of
