Question 13 • DHS Algebra 2 V

If f(x) is an odd function, which statement about the graph of f(x) must be true?

Answer
A
It has rotational symmetry about the origin.
B
It has line symmetry about the line y = –x.
C
It has line symmetry about the y-axis.
D
It has line symmetry about the x-axis.

Explanation

An odd function satisfies f(−x) = −f(x) for every x in its domain. So whenever (x, f(x)) is on the graph, the point (−x, −f(x)) is also on it; these points are opposite each other across the origin. Therefore, the graph has rotational symmetry about the origin.
