Answer:g (x) = -x^2

Callum Mason · Answer 2

y=-x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Flip a function along an axis means to change its orientation considering that axis as a mirror. Since mirrors reflects all that is needed to do is apply a negative 1 to the given function, that results in a new function - x^2.
