Answer:


$ g(x) = -x $

Explanation:

The reflection of a function
$ f(x) $ along the
$ x - axis $ is given by
$ g(x) = -f(x) $.

Here the given function is
$ f(x) = x $. Therefore the reflection would be
$ g(x) = -x $.

To find reflection draw the graph of it and think about how the graph of its mirror image would be. You would arrive at the reflection function.
