Transformations
Anchor 1
The transformations in the an equation that is in Vertex form are:
a(x-h)^2+k
-
a- the represents the Verticle Stretch (narrow graph) or Compression (wide graph) of the graph.
-
(-)a- if a is negative then the Direction of Opening will be down and if a is positive then the Direction of Opening will be up.
-
h- The h in Vertex form represents the Horizontal Translation left or right.
-
k- the k in Vertex form represents the Verticle Translation up or down.
Example
Here is an example that I did online. The example will show you how to graph using vertex form and explain how to write the transformations.
