Answer

Symmetry with respect to the origin

Work Step by Step

Testing symmetry with respect to $x$-axis: $$-y=3x^3$$ $$y=-3x^3$$ Since the resulting equation is not the same as the original equation, the equation is not symmetric with respect to $x$-axis. Testing symmetry with respect to $y$-axis: $$y=3(-x)^3$$ $$y=-3x^3$$ Since the resulting equation is not the same as the original equation, the equation is not symmetric with respect to $y$-axis. Testing symmetry with respect to origin: $$-y=3(-x)^3$$ $$-y=-3x^3$$ $$y=3x^3$$ Since the resulting equation is the same as the original equation, the equation is symmetric with respect to origin. The sketch of the graph is as shown.
