Find the inverse function of m(x) = 5x - 5 A m-1(x) = 5x + 5 B m-1(x) = -5x + 5 C m-1(x) = x+5/5 D m-1(x) = x+5/-5x

Switch your X and Y =

x = 5y - 5

Add 5 to both sides

x +5 = 5y

Divide both sides by 5

M -1 (x) = x+5/5

Hi there!


m(x) = 5x - 5
First replace m(x) by y.


y = 5x - 5
To find the inverse function we must switch the places from the variables x and y.


x = 5y - 5
Now we need to isolate the y again to find the formula of the inverse function. First add 5 to both sides.


x + 5 = 5y
Switch sides.


5y = x + 5
And finally divide both sides by 5.


y = (x + 5)/(5)
And therefore we can conclude the following:


m {}^( - 1) (x) = (x + 5)/(5)
The answer is C.
~ Hope this helps you!
