Question

Determine if the graph is symmetric about the x-axis, the y-axis, or the origin.

Answer 1

any ideas? :)

Answer 2

i think it's the origin but i'm not sure

Answer 3

hmm... origin symmetry is when every part has a matching part so this means:
- it has the same distance from the central point
- BUT in the opposite direction.
So for e.g.

Answer 4

the red line represents the x-axis.
So looking at the red line, does it perfectly cut the shape in half..or so they look like reflections of each other?

Answer 5

reflections..so the symm is over the x axis?

Answer 6

yeeep :)
The symmetry is over the x-axis.
