How do vertical transformations differ from horizontal transformations?

Answer 1

In vertical transformations every point on a graph is shifted upwards by a fixed number of points. In a horizontal transformation, every point on a graph is shifted along the x-axis a certain number of points.

Answer 2

Vertical transformations involve shifting the graph up or down, affecting the y-values, while horizontal transformations involve shifting the graph left or right, affecting the x-values. Vertical transformations are usually represented by adding or subtracting a value outside of the function, while horizontal transformations are represented by adding or subtracting a value inside the function.
