Math Problem Statement
Find g(x), where g(x) is the reflection across the x-axis of f(x)=7x–5. Write your answer in the form mx+b, where m and b are integers. g(x)=
Solution
To find the function , which is the reflection of across the x-axis, we follow these steps:
-
Reflection Across the X-axis: Reflecting a function across the x-axis involves multiplying the function by .
-
Apply the Reflection: Multiply the entire function by .
- Simplify:
Thus, the reflected function is .

- How does reflecting across the y-axis differ from the x-axis reflection?
- What is the effect on the graph of a linear function when it's reflected across the origin?
- Can you find the x-intercept of the reflected function ?
- What happens if you reflect twice across the x-axis?
Tip: Reflecting a function across the x-axis inverts the sign of the output but keeps the input values the same.
