Translating and Reflecting Graphs
by Anonymous
Shift with p and q, stretch with a and b, and move the minus sign around to see translations and reflections in the x-axis, y-axis, and origin.

About this app
An interactive math learning app for exploring how function graphs change when their formulas are modified. Adjust p and q to translate a graph, change a and b to stretch or compress it vertically and horizontally, and select reflections across the x-axis, y-axis, or origin. Guided missions, animated graph comparisons, equations, and feedback help learners connect algebraic signs and factors with visual transformations.
Use cases
- High school students learning graph transformations
- Teachers demonstrating translations, scaling, and reflections
- Learners practicing the effect of signs and coefficients in functions
- Classroom or self-study review of common mathematics topics
Features
- Interactive translation controls for horizontal p and vertical q movement
- Vertical scaling with a and horizontal scaling with b
- Reflection modes for the x-axis, y-axis, and origin
- Original and transformed graphs shown together for comparison
- Step-by-step missions with reset, next, and immediate feedback
