Question

Find g(x), where g(x) is the reflection across the x-axis of f(x)=x.

Write your answer in the form mx+b, where m and b are integers.

Answer 1

g(x)=-x+0. Any equation reflected across the x axis will have the opposite x value as the original function. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

The graph of f(x) = x in a straight line passing through the origin (0,0) and at an angle of 45 degrees to the x axis. It increases from left to right.

Reflection in the x axis will convert all positive values of f(x) to negative values of f(x) and vice versa.

g(x) = - x and is a striaght line passing through origin at angle of 45 degrees but the slope descends from left to right.
