Symmetric with Respect to the y-Axis A graph that is symmetric to the y-axis, can be seen as slicing a figure vertically. In other words, for every point (x,y) on the graph, the point (-x,y) is also on the graph.

The figure illustrates symmetric with respect to the y-axis. The part of the graph to the right of the y-axis is a reflection (mirror image) of the part to the left of the y-axis.

The following figures illustrate symmetric with respect to the y-axis

Testing for Symmetry with respect to the y-axis Substitute -x for every x in the equation. If the equation is EXACTLY as the original equation, the graph is symmetric with respect to the y-axis.

Testing for Symmetry with respect to the y-axis The following equation is given: Substitute –x for every x. Since the equation is EXACTLY the same as the original equation, then the graph is symmetric with respect to the y-axis.

Is the following equation symmetric with respect to the y-axis?

After substituting a –x for every x, the equation is EXACTLY the same as the original. Therefore, the equation is symmetric with respect to the y-axis.

Is the following equation symmetric with respect to the y-axis?

After substituting a –x for every x, the equation is NOT EXACTLY the same as the original. Therefore, the equation is NOT symmetric with respect to the y-axis.

Is the following equation symmetric with respect to the y-axis?

After substituting a –x for every x, the equation is NOT EXACTLY the same as the original. Therefore, the equation is NOT symmetric with respect to the y-axis.

The function could also be graphed to show that it is NOT symmetric with respect to the y- axis.

Is the following equation symmetric with respect to the y-axis?

After substituting a –x for every x, the equation is EXACTLY the same as the original. Therefore, the equation is symmetric with respect to the y-axis.

The function could also be graphed to show that it is symmetric with respect to the y- axis.

Congratulations!! You just completed symmetric with respect to the y-axis
