The graph of function f(-x) can be obtained from graph of pareant funcion f(x) by refecting the graph over y-axis.

We need to obtain the graph of ln (-x) from parent function ln x, which is nothing but replace of x by -x. So graph of ln (-x) is obtained by reflection of graph of function ln (x) over y-axis.

Answer: y-axis reflection
