standard_description: Interpret the equation y = mx + b as defining a linear function, whose graph is a straight line; give examples of functions that are not linear. For example, the function A = s2 giving the area of a square as a function of its side length is not linear because its graph contains the points (1,1), (2,4) and (3,9), which are not on a straight line.
problem_activity: Task
Suppose $f$ is the map of the plane which takes each point $(x,y)$ to the point $(x-3,y)$ and $g$ is the map of the plane that takes each $(x,y)$ to $(3x,y)$.
Below is a triangle $ABC$.
[IMG]
Show the image of $\triangle ABC$ after applying each of the maps $f$ and $g$.
Does $f$ preserve distances and angles? Explain.
Does $g$ preserve distances and angles? Explain.
