Using this as a guide: f(x) = 1/x
describe the transformation that results in g(x).
g(x) = -1/x

Okay! Is this a translation 1 unit to the left?
or would it be a reflection across the x or y axis?

I really don't think it is the other answer, it says a translation 2 units to the left.

Since the first number is 1,
and the other is -1, I thought it would be 1 unit to the left.
Am I right?
Or is it reflection?

the values of the function change  sign from pos to negative and vice versa , so it will be a reflection
In which axis do you think?
