  1. 3.1Symmetry; Graphing Key Equations

  2. Symmetry • A graph is said to be symmetric with respect to the x-axis if for every point (x,y) on the graph, the point (x,-y) is on the graph.

  3. A graph is said to be symmetric with respect to the y-axis if for every point (x,y) on the graph, the point (-x,y) is on the graph.

  4. A graph is said to be symmetric with respect to the origin if for every point (x,y) on the graph, the point (-x,-y) is on the graph.

  5. Tests for Symmetry • x-axis Replace y buy -y in the equation. If an equivalent equation results, the graph is symmetric with respect to the x-axis. • y-axis Replace x buy -x in the equation. If an equivalent equation results, the graph is symmetric with respect to the y-axis. • origin Replace x buy -x and y buy -y in the equation. If an equivalent equation results, the graph is symmetric with respect to the origin.

  6. Not symmetric with respect to the x-axis.

  7. Symmetric with respect to the y-axis.

  8. Not symmetric with respect to the origin.
