Multiple separate transformations (sketch-based, standard transformations)

Questions where a graph of y=f(x) is given with key points, and the student must sketch two or more standard transformations (translations, stretches, reflections of the form af(bx)+c) on separate diagrams, labelling the images of those key points. Does NOT involve modulus transformations.
