Answer:

B

Explanation:

The red graph is the reflection of the black graph in the y- axis

Under a reflection in the y- axis

a point (x, y ) → (- x, y )

Note the x- coordinates are the negative of each other


(x)/(-1) = - x

The equation of the red graph is

y = f(
(x)/(-1)) → B

You can obtain the red graph by reflecting the black graph over the y axis.

Reflections over the y axis are obtaining by changing the orientation of the x axis, i.e. by mapping
x\mapsto -x

So, in particular, given a function f(x), you reflect it over the y axis by writing f(-x).

You only need to observe that


f(-x)=f\left((x)/(-1)\right)

to conclude the exercise.
