Question

Determine if the graph is symmetric about the x-axis, the y-axis, or the origin. r = -1 - 3 sin θ

Answer 1

y axis only

Explanation:

i’m pretty sire

Answer 2

now, recall that, testing for symmetry is done by replacing the argument, and if the resulting function mimics the original function, then the function has symmetry of that type.

so let's test r = -1 - 3sin(θ).

also recall that sin(π) = 0, and cos(π) = -1.

with that in mind, let's check
