A. y-axis

B. x-axis

C. no symmetry

D. the origin

y=-x, f(x)=-x
change x to -x; f(-x)=-(-x)=x
not symmetric with regards to the y-axis. Not an even function
------------------
f(x)=-x
-f(x)==x. Not an odd function
-----------------
Graph it and turn the graph upside down. It looks the same. Symmetrical about the origin.
Or, replace y with -y and x with -x, and we have -y=x, which is the function.
