Question

The function y = -3x + 5 is transformed by reflecting it over the y axis. What is the equation of the new function? *

Answer 1

x= −1/3 y+5/3

Explanation:

Let's solve for x.

y=−3x+5

Step 1: Flip the equation.

−3x+5=y

Step 2: Add -5 to both sides.

−3x+5+−5=y+−5

−3x=y−5

Step 3: Divide both sides by -3.

−3x

−3

=

y−5
