how to show y = reflect x - 5

1 answer

To show y = reflect x - 5, you would need to plot the graph of the reflection of a function y = x - 5.

To reflect a function over the x-axis, you need to change the sign of the y-values. So, in this case, for each point on the graph of y = x - 5, you would need to change the sign of the y-coordinate.

Once you have plotted the reflection of the function y = x - 5, the new graph will be y = -x - 5.

Here is a step-by-step guide to show the reflection of y = x - 5:

1. Plot the graph of y = x - 5.
2. Replace each y-value with its negative value to reflect the graph over the x-axis.
3. Plot the new points on the graph, connecting them to create a reflected graph.
4. The reflected function will be y = -x - 5.

By following these steps, you can accurately show the reflection of y = x - 5 as y = -x - 5.
