Answer:

The function is odd.

Explanation:

A function is classified as odd if


f(x)=-f(-x)

Graphically, this means if a function has a positive value at x = a (to the right of the y-axis), then it must have a negative value at x = -a (to the left of the y-axis).

To prove that our function is odd, we take a few examples from the graph


\begin{gathered} f(2)=-f(-2)_{} \\ f(6)=-f(-6) \end{gathered}

and so on.

Hence, our function is odd!
