The inverse of a function is found by switching the x and the y in the equation and solving for the new y. Therefore, when you have a function plotted on an x/y coordinate plane, you can find its inverse by switching the x and y coordinates and plotting the new points. This process makes the function and the inverse be symmetrical about the line y = x. Your choice is C.
