19. REEI INFFORRCCEE For each transformation described below, sketch the graph that results.
Then, write the function rule that represents the transformation. Use a single graph grid
for all four graphs, and label each graph with the appropriate letter.
a. Shift the graph of y = x down 2 units.
Function rule:
b. Shift the graph from part a up 5 units.
Function rule:
c. Reflect the graph from part b over the x-axis.
Function rule:
d. Create a graph with the same y-intercept as the graph in part c, but with 4 times the
rate of change.
Function rule:
