Desmos to demonstrate transformations, reflections

Did you know that if you type in a function using f(x) =     then you can type  -f(x) to show a reflection.  In my last post, I was doing this manually without using f(x) notation.   So to show the graph a function translated to the left 5 units and down 2units,  you would use  the notation f(x+5)-2

What a powerful teaching tool for the teacher to demonstrate translations, reflections and dilations!  putting the graphs that are color coded to the equation in projexpctor mode shows the function notation and the visual of what each number does to the graph!
