Graphing Transformations — The One Thing No One Explains

If you’ve ever felt like graphing transformations is just a list of random rules to memorize, you’re not alone. The real key is understanding what’s actually happening to the graph when you change an equation—and that’s the part most explanations skip. In this lesson, we’ll cut through the clutter so you can look at an equation and see exactly how the graph will change.
