IXL Algebra1 - S.27

Transforming linear functions, especially f(x) = x is problematic for teaching the concept because reflection across the x - axis and y-axis appear to be identical. The nature of transformation of functions is best described and taught using conic sections that have x and y variables on the same side of the equation.

I did my best to explain some of the concepts, but knowing how to do the transformation may lead to misconceptions due to the nature of the (h,k) as used in the IXL program.

To better understand transformations watch the other videos on the topic of transformations of functions.
