Transformations on the Graphing Calculator
Topic Index | Geometry Index | Regents Exam Prep Center

 

The following worksheet can be used when working with transformations.  It was designed with the TI-83+/84+ series of graphing calculators in mind, but could easily be used with any graphing utility.

(Graphs are shown for teacher reference at the bottom of the page.
Students would be expected to supply their own graphs.)

   Transformations

Directions:  Graph these equations on the same set of axes.  Describe the type of transformation which occurs by moving graph Y1 onto graph Y2.

1.

Y1= x2

Y2= x2 + 5
