To determine the transformation that best characterizes the graph, you need to look at how the graph changes in relation to the lines mentioned in the options.

  1. A reflection over the line \( x = 0 \) means the graph is mirrored across the y-axis.
  2. A reflection over the line \( y = 0 \) indicates the graph is mirrored across the x-axis.
  3. A reflection over the line \( x = 1 \) would indicate that points on the graph are mirrored over the vertical line \( x = 1 \).
  4. A reflection over the line \( y = -1 \) would mean the graph is mirrored over the horizontal line \( y = -1 \).

Without being able to see the graph in question, I can only guide you on how to analyze it.

If the graph appears to be flipped horizontally with respect to the y-axis, then it is a reflection over \( x = 0 \). If it is flipped vertically with respect to the x-axis, then it's a reflection over \( y = 0 \). If points are flipped around \( x = 1 \) or \( y = -1\), then one of those would be the correct option.

Once you analyze the graph based on this reasoning, you can select the correct transformation.
