Lesson proper:
Illustrative Example
1. Draw the graph of 𝑦 = 3 𝑥 − 2 + 1.
Solution:
Determine the vertex of the graph
Recall : 𝑓 𝑥 = 𝑎 𝑥 − ℎ + 𝑘
𝑦 =3 1 +1
where ℎ, 𝑘 is the vertex
𝑦=4
𝐻𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒, ℎ, 𝑘 = (2,1)
The point is (3,4)
Consider a point to the right or
left of the vertex
Let x = 3
Then, 𝑦 = 3 3 − 2 + 1
Plot the vertex (2,1) and the point (3,4).
Reflect the point (3,4)
Illustrative Example
2. Draw the graph of 𝑦 = − 𝑥 + 3 + 2.
Solution:
Determine the vertex of the graph
Recall : 𝑓 𝑥 = 𝑎 𝑥 − ℎ + 𝑘, where ℎ, 𝑘 is the vertex
Rewrite the equation
𝑦 =− 1 +2
𝑦 = − 𝑥 − (−3) + 2
𝑦=1
𝐻𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒, ℎ, 𝑘 = (−3,2)
The point is (-4,1)
Consider a point to the right or
left of the vertex
Let x = -4
Then, 𝑦 = − −4 + 3 + 2
Plot the vertex (-3,2) and the point (-4,1).
Reflect the point (-4,1)
Practice Exercise:
1. Draw the graph of 𝑦 = 2 𝑥 + 4 − 3.
Solution:
Determine the vertex of the graph
Recall : 𝑓 𝑥 = 𝑎 𝑥 − ℎ + 𝑘
where ℎ, 𝑘 is the vertex
𝑦 =2 1 −3
𝐻𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒, ℎ, 𝑘 = (−4, −3)
𝑦 = −1
Consider a point to the right or
The point is (-3,-1)
left of the vertex
Let x = -3
Then, 𝑦 = 2 −3 + 4 − 3
Plot the vertex (-4,-3) and the point (-3,-1).
Reflect the point (-3,-1)
Illustrative Example
3. What is the new equation if the graph 𝑦 = 𝑥 is shifted 2
units to the right and 3 units upward?
Solution:
Recall : 𝑓 𝑥 = 𝑎 𝑥 − ℎ + 𝑘
Rewrite 𝑦 = 𝑥 in this form
𝑦 =1 𝑥−0 +0
Since the graph is moved 2 units to the right and 3 units
upward, we have
𝑦 = 𝑥 − (0 + 2) + (0 + 3)
𝑦 = 𝑥−2 +3
Illustrative Example
4. What is the new equation if the graph 𝑦 = −2 𝑥 + 3 − 4 is
shifted 2 units to the left and 3 units upward?
Solution:
Recall :𝑓 𝑥 = 𝑎 𝑥 − ℎ + 𝑘
Rewrite 𝑦 = −2 𝑥 + 3 − 4 in this form
𝑦 = −2 𝑥 − −3 + (−4)
Since the graph is moved 2 units to the left and 3 units
upward, we have
𝑦 = −2 𝑥 − −3 − 2 + (−4 + 3)
𝑦 = −2 𝑥 − −5 + (−1)
𝑦 = −2 𝑥 + 5 − 1
Practice Exercise
1. What is the new equation if the graph of 𝑦 = 𝑥 is
shifted 3 units to the left and 5 units downward?
𝑦 = 𝑥+3 −5
2. What is the new equation if the graph 𝑦 = − 𝑥 − 3 + 4 is
shifted 5 units to the left and 3 units upward?
𝑦 =− 𝑥+2 +7
What I have learned
Evaluation:
1. Draw the graph of
𝑦 =2 𝑥−3 −2.

2. What is the new equation if the graph of 𝑦 = −5 𝑥 + 6 + 1


is moved 6 units to the right and 4 units downward?
𝑦 = −5 𝑥 − 3
