Symmetry

Question 4 • 26/27 ALGEBRA II A

If f(x) is an even 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 even function satisfies f(−x) = f(x) for every x in its domain. This means the points (x, f(x)) and (−x, f(x)) both lie on the graph, so reflecting the graph across the y-axis leaves it unchanged. Therefore, the graph has line symmetry about the y-axis.
