Answer 1

To understand the relationship between \( f(x) \) and \( -f(-x) \), we analyze what it means for a point \( (x, y) \) to be on the graph of \( f(x) \):

1. If \( (x, y) \) is on the graph of \( f(x) \), that means \( y = f(x) \).
2. The point we want to check is \( (-x, -y) \).
3. Evaluating \( -f(-x) \):

- First, compute \( -x \) in the function. If \( x \) is replaced with \( -x \) in \( f(x) \), that gives us \( f(-x) \).
- To find \( -f(-x) \), we take the negative of that value. Thus, \( -f(-x) \) will give us \( -y \) because \( y = f(x) \) and \( f(-x) \) will produce the output corresponding to the input of \( -x \).

Putting this all together, if \( (x, y) \) is on the graph of \( f(x) \), then:

- The point \( (-x, -y) \) will satisfy the equation \( -f(-x) \).

Therefore, the best statement that 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 \( -f(-x) \).**

So the correct response is:

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