What makes these transformations special is that the graph's original shape stays the same, but the new graph may have been "moved" or "stretched."

In this section we will learn how to apply four such transformations:

•    shifting 

•    stretching 

•    compressing 

•    reflecting

We will keep track of these transformations by monitoring changes in the x and y coordinates of "basic" points from the original graph.

These basic points reveal the original graph's fundamental shape.
