Answer:


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

Explanation:

We can find the inverse function of this excercise, isolating X and then changing the variables.


y=-5x+20\\y-20=-5x\\(y-20)/(-5) =x\\


(y)/(-5)-(20)/(-5)  = x\\(-1)/(5)y+(20)/(5) =x\\ (-1)/(5)y+4 =x

And now we change the variables and we get the inverse function:


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