How to flip a function's graph across an axis
In short: This video demonstrates how to reflect the graph of a function. You will learn the specific algebraic changes required to flip a graph over either the x-axis or the y-axis.
The video explores the geometric transformations of functions. Graphing y=-f(x) allows you to reflect the y=f(x) plot across the x-axis. To achieve a reflection over the y-axis, you instead graph y=f(-x).
