Question

Use symmetry to graph the inverse of the function.

Answer 1

a. is the correct option

Explanation:

The graph of a function
`f` and its inverse function
`f^(-1)` are related to each other. The relationship between these two graphs can be explained by taking a point
`(a,b)` that is on the graph of
`f`, then point
`(b,a)` must lie on the graph
`f^(-1)` and vice versa meaning that the graph of
`f^(-1)` is a reflection of
`f` in the line
`y=x`. The only graph that meet this requirement is the option a. For instance, the point
`(0,5)` is on the graph of
`f` while the point
`(5,0)` is on the graph of
`f^(-1)` as indicated below.
