Graphs is supposably the easiest 4U topic and yet I find it the hardest. Does anyone have any tips or tricks with graphs?

Again, please provide relevant examples.

Some general tips however:
- Know what the transformation actually does
- Spend some time trying to figure out why the transform even does that
- Have some examples
- Follow a general procedure
- More often than not you're operating on the y-coordinates. Know how to distinguish between x-coordinates are transformed as opposed to y-coordinates.

Some more extensive analyses can be found in my book but otherwise provide relevant examples, showing whatever train of thought you tried to follow with it

Thanks I'll consider all those tips!

It was also the hardest for me because it took so long, because I was using a scale. Found out you don't need a scale so it's not that hard anymore.
