Answer:


f^(-1)(x)=-(1)/(5) x-(4)/(5)

Explanation:

It is called an inverse or reciprocal function of
f to another function
f^(-1) that fulfills that:

If
f(a)=b, then
f^(-1) (b)=a

The inverse of
f(x)=-5x-4 is:

We change the x for the y


x=-5y-4

Now, let's clear y


y=(x+4)/(-5)

Ordering


y = -(1)/(5) x-(4)/(5)

So, the inverse of the function
f(x)=-5x-4 is:


f^(-1)(x)=-(1)/(5) x-(4)/(5)
