What is the significance of the ordered pair (2, -4) to the graph?
It is the vertex
It is an x-intercept
It is the y-intercept
It is the axis of symmetry
9

Dilation has the effect of stretching or compressing a graph
10
Reflections
11
Multiple Choice
Is this parabola a stretch or a shrink?
Stretch
Shrink
12
Multiple Choice
Which equation will result in the parabola being a narrower graph?
y = 2x2 + 1
y = 7x2 - 1
y = 0.5x2 + 1
y = x2
13
Multiple Choice

Translations
A TRANSLATION IS THE MOVEMENT
OF EVERY POINT ON AN OBJECT AT
THE SAME DISTANCE IN THE SAME DIRECTION - VERTICAL OR HORIZONTAL
19
TURNING POINT FORM
When a quadratic is in this form, it is
easiest to determine the translations
The turning point has the coordinates (h, k)
h represents the number of units that y=x2 is translated horizontally
k represents the number of units that y=x2 is translated vertically
