Worksheets for Algebra 1

Lesson 17 Student Outcomes

Students examine that a vertical translation of the graph of y = f(x) corresponds to changing the equation from y = f(x) to y = f(x) + k.

Students examine that a vertical scaling of the graph of y = f(x) corresponds to changing the equation from y = f(x) to y = kf(x).


Lesson 18 Student Outcomes

Students examine that a horizontal translation of the graph of y = f(x) corresponds to changing the equation from y + f(x) to y = f(x - k).

Lesson 18 Exit Ticket

a. ____________
b._____________
c. _____________ Lesson 19 Student Outcomes

Students examine that a horizontal scaling with scale factor k of the graph of y = f(x) corresponds to changing the equation from y = f(x) to y = f(1/2x).

Lesson 20 Student Outcomes
