Key Concepts
Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.
Function Reflection
The function g(x) = f(-x) represents a reflection of the function f(x) across the y-axis. This means that for every point (a, b) on the graph of f, there will be a corresponding point (-a, b) on the graph of g. Understanding this concept is crucial for accurately transforming the graph of f into g.

Graphing Techniques
Graphing techniques involve methods for accurately plotting functions on a coordinate plane. This includes identifying key points, understanding the shape of the graph, and applying transformations such as shifts, stretches, and reflections. Mastery of these techniques is essential for visualizing how g(x) relates to f(x).

Graphs and Coordinates - Example
Coordinate System
A coordinate system provides a framework for locating points in a plane using ordered pairs (x, y). In the context of graphing functions, it is important to understand how changes in the x-values affect the corresponding y-values. This understanding is fundamental when applying transformations like the reflection in g(x) = f(-x).
