Answer:
Option b
Step-by-step explanation:
A function is even if and only if f(-x) = f(x).
This means that there is the same value of y for and for
Where is any point belonging to the function .
Therefore you must select a graph whose ordered pairs are of the form and
Therefore the correct answer is option b. Assume that each box in the graph equals 1 unit. Then, for x = 2 y = -3 and for x = -2 y = -3. Then it is shown that the function is even.

Answer:
B. The graph flips over the x-axis
Step-by-step explanation:
When you plot the coordinate pair (x, y), you plot the point 'y' units above the x-axis. If you change the sign of that (multiply the function by -1), then the point becomes (x, -y), and is plotted 'y' units below the x-axis.
The graph flips over the x-axis.

Attached is an example of a function with its original graph (red) and the graph after being multiplied by -1 (blue). The blue graph is a reflection of the red graph across the x-axis.
