To find the inverse of any function, switch the x's with y's and vice versa.


The current equation given is
y=4x-8

Switch the
y with
x and switch the
x with
y


After doing so, we'll have the following equation:


x=4y-8


Now, let's move the variables around so that y is isolated on the left side again.


Subtract both sides by 4y



x-4y=-8


Subtract both sides by x



-4y=-8-x


Divide both sides by -4



y= (x)/(4)+2


That is the answer.

Have an awesome day!
