Answer:

It's a rotation of 90 degrees - doesn't matter which way - around the intersection of the two lines

Explanation:

Claim: it's a 90 degree rotation around the intersection of f and g.

It's easy to spot the two lines are perpendicular. Let's assume the rotation doesn't happen at the point of intersection
x_0, but slightly to the side, around let's say,
x_0+\epsilon; the new line will coincide with
g(x) if and only if
\epsilon = 0, ie only the rotation happens around the intersection.
