Test for symmetry about the x-axis, y-axis and origin.

| y | = 2x - 4

What are the rules for testing for symmetry?

What are the rules for testing for symmetry?

... have you researched "testing graphs for symmetry" ?

Great! I will answer both symmetry questions tomorrow. Going to work now.

| y | = 2x - 4

| -y | = 2x - 4

y = 2x - 4

Symmetric about the x-axis?

| y | = 2(-x) - 4

| y | = -2x - 4

| y | = -2x - 4

Not symmetric about the y-axis.

| y | = 2x - 4

| -y | = 2(-x) - 4

y = -2x - 4

Not symmetric about the origin?
