Multiplying by -1 flips a function over the x-axis and switching y and x flips it over the y=x line. How would you do that to f(x) for the y axis?

SUMMARY
To rotate the function f(x) over the y-axis, one must replace x with -x in the function's equation. This operation effectively flips the graph over the y-axis. Additionally, multiplying the function by -1 flips it over the x-axis, while switching the variables y and x flips the graph over the line y=x. Understanding these transformations is crucial for accurately manipulating function graphs in mathematics.
