Given a function f(x), we can write the function g(x), where g(x) is the reflection over teh y-axis of f(x) by:
[tex]g(x)=f(-x)[/tex]In this case, the function given is:
[tex]f(x)=5x+8[/tex]Thus the reflection over the y-axis is:
[tex]g(x)=f(-x)=5(-x)+8[/tex]Now simplify:
[tex]g(x)=-5x+8[/tex]hus the answer is:
g (x) = -5x+8 (second option)
