Eve’s teacher asked her to graph the function y is equal to negative cotangent times x minus 1 by reflecting the graph of the function y is equal to cotangent of x about the x -axis and translating it vertically. Does it matter in which order Eve does the transformations?

A
Yes, it matters. The graph of the function y is equal to cotangent of x should be reflected about the x -axis before it is translated 1 unit up.
B
No, it doesn’t matter. Reflecting the graph of the function y is equal to cotangent of x about the x -axis and translating the graph 1 unit up in either order will produce the correct graph.
C
Yes, it matters. The graph of the function y is equal to cotangent of x should be reflected about the x -axis before it is translated 1 unit down.
D
No, it doesn’t matter. Reflecting the graph of the function y is equal to cotangent of x about the x -axis and translating the graph 1 unit down in either order will produce the correct graph.

Which is the graph of the function y is equal to negative tangent times x ?

A
Image with description On a coordinate plane, the x axis ranges from negative 2 pi to 2 pi with an interval of pi by 2 units and the y axis ranges from negative 6 to 6 with an interval of 2 units. It shows a curve that oscillates between positive and negative infinity as x approaches multiples of pi. The curve has vertical asymptotes at x equals plus or minus n times pi. The graph decreases in every pi interval as x decreases. The curve crosses the x axis at (2 pi comma 0), (pi comma 0) and (negative pi comma 0) and (negative 2 pi comma 0).
