If you plot Y=X on a graph, how is it that you get the axis of symmetry?

y = x is the axis of symmetry for inverse functions.

The axis of symmetry is one that you can rotate the graph around and still have the same "graph"....in this case the line y=-x

Hi,
Odd functions, those in which f(-x)=-f(x), are symmetric with respect to the origin. That is, a particular point above the x-axis and to the right of the y-axis will have a reflection below the x-axis and to the left of the y-axis.

The equation y = x is a line passing through origin and bisects the angle between x - y axes. As a rule angular bisector is always a line of symmetry of the system of lines forming the angle.
