Answer:
B. The graph flips over the x-axis
Step-by-step explanation:
When you plot the coordinate pair (x, y), you plot the point 'y' units above the x-axis. If you change the sign of that (multiply the function by -1), then the point becomes (x, -y), and is plotted 'y' units below the x-axis.
The graph flips over the x-axis.

Attached is an example of a function with its original graph (red) and the graph after being multiplied by -1 (blue). The blue graph is a reflection of the red graph across the x-axis.
Answer:
2x - 6y = 18
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in standard form is
Ax + By = C ( A is a positive integer and B, C are integers )
Given
x = 2y + 6
Multiply through by 3 to clear the fraction
2x = 6y + 18 ( subtract 6y from both sides )
2x - 6y = 18 ← in standard form
For this case we have the following system of two equations with two unknowns:
Adding both equations we have to eliminate the variable "x":
Adding common terms, keeping in mind that different signs are subtracted and the sign of the major is placed:
Answer:
Option A
