Answer:


y=-(1)/(8)x^3

Explanation:

If a function is symmetrical about the origin, when y is replaced with (-y) and x is replaced with (-x), the resulting function will be equal to the original function.

Original function:


y=-(1)/(8)x^3

Replace y with (-y) and x with (-x):


\implies -y=-(1)/(8)(-x)^3


\implies -y=-(1)/(8)\cdot -x^3


\implies -y=(1)/(8)x^3

Multiply both sides by -1:


\implies y=-(1)/(8)x^3

Therefore, as the function is equal to the original function, this function is symmetric with respect to the origin.
