Question

What is the linear inverse of y=5x

Answer 1

let's recall that to find the inverse of any expression, we start off by doing a quick switcheroo on the variables, and then solve for "y".

`\bf y = 5x\implies \stackrel{switcheroo}{x=5y}\implies \cfrac{x}{5}=\stackrel{f^(-1)(x)}{y}`

Answer 2

The answer should be y=-5x since the inverse is just you flipping it over.
