You can put this solution on YOUR website!
First let's graph the function $\"f%28x%29+=+1%2Fx\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( " $\"graph%28300%2C200%2C-5%2C5%2C-5%2C5%2C1%2Fx%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Now, recall that when you reflect over the y-axis, the x-coordinates are changed by reversing their sign.
\n" ); document.write( "So let's graph $\"g%28x%29+=+-1%2Fx\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"graph%28300%2C200%2C-5%2C5%2C-5%2C5%2C-1%2Fx%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So there you have it! \n" ); document.write( "
