| Basic Function | The simplest function of its type |
| Transformation | The mapping, or movement, of all points of a figure in a plane according to a common operation |
| Vertical translation | Type of transformation that shifts the entire graph up or down |
| Horizontal translation | Is a shift of the entire graph left or right |
| Coordinate notation | Notation that uses ordered pairs to describe a transformation in a coordinate plane |
| Argument of a function | Is the variable in which the function operates |
