Math Problem Statement

what line of y are they symmetric to

Solution

It seems like you are asking about the symmetry of a graph, but I need more context to determine the correct answer. Typically, when we talk about symmetry of a function or shape, we refer to the line over which the function is symmetric, such as:

  • Symmetry about the x-axis: The graph is symmetric about the x-axis if for every point (x,y)(x, y), there is a corresponding point (x,y)(x, -y).

  • Symmetry about the y-axis: The graph is symmetric about the y-axis if for every point (x,y)(x, y), there is a corresponding point (x,y)(-x, y).

  • Symmetry about the line y=xy = x: The graph is symmetric about the line y=xy = x if switching the x- and y-coordinates of a point keeps it on the graph (i.e., (x,y)(x, y) becomes (y,x)(y, x)).

  • Symmetry about some other line, like y=ky = k, where the graph reflects over a horizontal line at some constant value kk.

Could you specify the function or the graph you're referring to? That will help me pinpoint the line of symmetry.

Would you like more details on how to determine symmetry?
