In Try This 1 you investigated four different types of transformations. A transformation of a relation is a change made to the relation such that the graph of the relation is shifted or changed in shape. In this lesson you will learn more about translations, a specific type of transformation. A translation of a relation is a shift in the position of the graph without changing the graph’s shape or orientation.
Just as transformations can be applied to figures, such as the polygon from Try This 1 or the star in the diagram shown, transformations can also be performed on the graph of a function. In Try This 2 you will explore the transformation of the function f(x) = |x|.
