The graph is shown in the attached image


We know that:

Reflection across the y-axis gives us:

(x,y) ..................> (-x , y)


From the graph, we can note that each point on the f (x) function has a negative image on the g (x) function


For example:

point (2,3) in f (x) is (-2,3) in the g (x)


Therefore, we can deduce that g (x) is formed by reflecting f (x) across the y-axis


Hope this helps :)
