Answer: The first graph

Step-by-step explanation: A graph’s inverse will have all of their roots inverted as well. If you put the graph f(x)= 3x+3 into a graphing calculator, you’ll be able to see all the roots. From there, just invert (switch) the roots. Since on the original graph the most prominent roots are {(0,3), (-1,0),(-2,-3)}, you just need to invert those roots and find them ALL on one of the graphs, then you have your answer. So, the inverted roots will be {(3,0),(0,-1),(-3,-2)}.

Still, I find the simplest thing is to put them into a graphing calc like GeoGebra.
