Use Graph to Find Symmetry

How does one use the graph of a function to find any symmetry with respect to the x-axis, y-axis, or origin?


The Rapture is the central event in biblical prophecy. The greatest truth about the Rapture is not its timing but it's reality. The Rapture will be the great disappearance.

Use def. of the symmetries
even: mirrored on each side of y-axis (like y=x^2)
odd: mirrored but upside down on other side of y-axis (like y=x^3)
origin: each pt matches another pt on th e other side of the origin (like y=x^3)

Can you show me using a graph or two?
