QuestionIf (3,2)(-3,2) is a point on the graph of y=f(x)y=f(x), which of the following must be on the graph of y=f(x)y=-f(x) ?
Choose the correct answer below. (2,3)(2,3) (2,3)(-2,-3) (3,2)(-3,-2) (3,2)(3,2)

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. The function y=f(x) y = -f(x) is a vertical reflection of the function y=f(x) y = f(x) .
2. The point (3,2)(-3, 2) is on the graph of y=f(x) y = f(x) .
3. We need to determine which point must lie on the graph of y=f(x) y = -f(x) .

STEP 2

1. Understand the transformation from y=f(x) y = f(x) to y=f(x) y = -f(x) .
2. Apply the transformation to the given point.
3. Identify the correct transformed point.

STEP 3

The transformation from y=f(x) y = f(x) to y=f(x) y = -f(x) involves reflecting the graph over the x-axis.

STEP 4

Given the point (3,2)(-3, 2) on y=f(x) y = f(x) , reflect this point over the x-axis to find the corresponding point on y=f(x) y = -f(x) .

STEP 5

Reflecting (3,2)(-3, 2) over the x-axis changes the y-coordinate from 22 to 2-2, resulting in the point (3,2)(-3, -2).

STEP 6

The point (3,2)(-3, -2) is the reflection of (3,2)(-3, 2) over the x-axis, and therefore must be on the graph of y=f(x) y = -f(x) .
The correct answer is:
(3,2) \boxed{(-3, -2)}
