Which functions are symmetric with respect to the y axis
1 answer:
Answer:
A, B, and D
Step-by-step explanation:
Only the functions that have x by itself between the absolute value signs (A, B, and D) are symmetric with respect to the y-axis .
Placing a constant outside the absolute value signs moves the function up or down the y-axis but retains the symmetry.
Adding a constant inside the absolute value signs (as in C and E) moves the axis of symmetry to the left or right of the y-axis.
In the diagram, both A and B are symmetric with respect to the y-axis, but C has been shifted three units to the left.

Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
Parallel lines have the same gradient.
A line with a slope of zero is a horizontal line. Although two lines that have a slope of zero will result in two parallel lines, not all parallel lines are horizontal lines. Since the question is asking for which statement <u>must</u> be true, option A is incorrect.
If the slopes of two lines are negative reciprocals, they are perpendicular to each other. This is because the product of the gradients of 2 perpendicular lines is -1. Let the gradient of the first line be A and the other be B.
AB= -1
Thus, option B is incorrect too.
Undefined slopes gives vertical lines. Like option A, if two lines have an undefined slope, they will be parallel to each other. However since parallel lines are nit necessarily vertical lines, option C is also incorrect.
