If f(x) is an even function and (6, 8) is one the points on the graph of f(x), which reason explains why (–6, 8) must also be a point on the graph?

A
Since the function is even, the outputs of a negative x-value and a positive x-value are the same.
B
Since the function is even, the outputs of a negative y-value and a positive y-value are the same.
C
The graph has rotational symmetry, so the point will be reflected across the y-axis.
D
The graph has rotational symmetry, so the point will be rotated 90 degrees about the origin.

She is incorrect because systems may have only complex solutions which are not visible on a graph.
B
She is incorrect because the solutions may have multiplicity greater than 1.
C
She is correct because all solutions are intersection points of the graphs.
D
She is correct because the solutions are irrational.
