Author Topic: linear transformation notes- is this right??  (Read 3182 times)


yes the image is bad and so is my hand writing lol

what it says is
Horizontal Translation
Add for left
subtract for right

anyways what im confused with is on a number line left is negative(-) and right it positive(+) do linear transformations have some special rule where going left which is negative on the number line means its now positive and same thing for right translations?

add for right
subtract for left

(x-2) would be move right 2, so +2
(x+2) would be move left 2, so -2

if youre subtracting then you make the coords want to be on the negative side of the graph, therefore,

add for right
subtract for left

add for right
subtract for left

btw what grade are you in i did this stuff in 4th grade

this is Algebra 1 work so I'd guess 9th grade

we're doing this as sophmores algebra 2.....

(x-2) would be move right 2, so +2
(x+2) would be move left 2, so -2
thank you

sorry bro i take algebra 1, maybe next time.

How is that remotely helpful

I mean why would someone needing help in a higher form of math need that input at all

it's a joke, can't you take it?

Left is negative on the number line.
Right is positive.

Up is positive, down is negative. Basically you just change the intercepts by adding/subtracting.
