How to reflect over y axis in an equation?

Answered by maham237 @



1) y = -f(x) (This is the reflection about the x-axis of the graph y = f(x).) That is for every point (x, y) there is a point (x, -y).
2) y = |f(x)| means that the entire graph will be above the x-axis. Why? (The absolute value is always positive, that's why!!) To graph the absolute value graph, graph the function y = f(x). Anything above the x-axis, stays above it, anything below the x-axis is reflected above the x-axis and anything on the x-axis, stays on the x-axis.
3) y = f(-x) (This is reflection about the y-axis of the graph y = f(x)) For every point on the right of the y-axis, there is a point equidistant to the left of the y-axis. That is for every point (x, y), there is a point (-x, y).
4) Reflections about the line y = x is accomplished by interchanging the x and the y-values. Thus for y = f(x) the reflection about the line y = x is accomplished by x = f(y). Thus the reflection about the line y = x for y = x2 is the equation x = y2.
