This polyline is the graph of a function. You can see the function's reflections about the x-axis, y-axis, and the origin using the show/hide buttons.
First show the reflection about the x-axis. Determine a rule for reflecting a function about the x-axis. Discuss this rule with your group members. Make a note of this rule.
Next, hide the x-axis reflection and show the y-axis reflection. Determine a rule for reflecting a function about the y-axis. Discuss this rule with your group members. Make a note of this rule.
Finally, hide the y-axis reflection and show the reflection about the origin. Determine a rule for reflecting a function about the origin. Discuss this rule with your group members. Make a note of this rule.
