Answer:

i believe it's g(x) = 1/2x + 3?

Explanation:

ok, this is more of a visual thing i did where i graphed it on desmos but i can try to explain algebraically-- since it's a linear equation and when you reflect over the x-axis, the only thing that is really gonna change is your y-int, which is just the opposite of your current one

the slope will remain the same, so that's why 1/2x is the same

negative y-int becomes positive so from -3 to +3

edit: og poster said it was wrong, if someone could clarify what is wrong, it would be appreciated
