Answer 1

The correct statement that best describes the relationship between any point on \( f(x) \) and \( -f(-x) \) is:

**If \( (x,y) \) is on the graph of \( f(x) \), then \( (-x,-y) \) is on the graph of \( -f(-x) \).**

This is because:

1. If \( (x, y) \) is on the graph of \( f(x) \), then \( y = f(x) \).
2. To find the corresponding point on \( -f(-x) \), you substitute \( -x \) into \( f(x) \), giving \( -f(-x) \).
3. That means you'd evaluate \( -f(-x) \), leading to the point \( (-x, -y) \) since \( y = f(x) \) transforms to \( -y = -f(-x) \).

So, the transformation of the graph reflects over the \( y \)-axis (due to the \( -x \)) and then reflects over the \( x \)-axis (due to the negative sign in front).
