Answer:C. Since the profit made in 2012 is equal to the profit made in 2014, the profit is symmetric about the line x = 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the profit made by the boutique is given by the function y(x) then
We can see
Profit made in year 2011=profit made in year 2015
i.e.y(1)=y(5)=$84,000
profit made in year 2012=profit made in year 2014
i.e.y(2)=y(4)=$111,000
And profit made in year 2013 is standing in middle as y(3)=$120,000
which gives the line of symmetry x=3.(with reference to the figure)
Therefore, the profit made in 2012 is equal to the profit made in 2014, the profit is symmetric about the line x = 3.
Line of symmetry is an imaginary line that divides a line or shape making two identical halves.
