8. 3-2 The Graph Translation Theorem
translation (of a graph):
a transformation that maps each point (x,y) onto (x+h, y+k)
Graph Translation Theorem:
In a relation described by a sentence in x and y, the
following two processes yield the same graph:
1. replacing x by x-h and y by y-k in the sentence;
2. applying the translation (x,y) onto (x+h, y+k) to the
graph of the original relation.

Think: what did you do to “0” to get to “7”?
You added “7”
Think: what did you do to “0” to get to “8”?
You added “8”
This is the Rule!

15. 3-3 Examples
1. Ten students earned the following scores on a test: 93, 95, 91, 96, 88, 90,
93, 95, 80, 100. Translate the data mentally by subtracting 90 to mentally find
the mean of these scores.
Think: 10 scores; get total by adding over / under 90.
i.e. 93 is over 90 by three, so think +3
95 is over 90 by 5, so think +5 (total of +8)
continue this for all of the data and mentally compute the total
You should have a total of +21. Now, compute the mean.
x =

= 2.1
Then add 90 to the mean x = 2.1+ 90 = 92.1

1. A worker records the time it takes to get from home to the parking lot of the
factory and finds a mean time of 20.6 minutes with a standard deviation of 3.5
minutes. If it consistently takes 5 minutes to get from the parking lot to the
worker’s place in the factory, find the mean and standard deviation of the time
it takes the worker to get from home to that place in the factory.
mean = 20.6 + 5
mean = 25.6 minutes
standard deviation is not affected (invariant), therefore
the standard deviation remains 3.5 minutes

Theorem:
Multiplying each element of a data set by the factor “a”
multiplies each of the mean, median, and mode by the
factor “a”.
Theorem:
If each element of a data set is multiplied by “a”, then
the variance is “a2
” times the original variance, the
standard deviation is |a| times the original standard
deviation, and the range is |a| times the original range.
In other words: everything get multiplied by
“a” (except the variance which is “a2
”)
