Answer:

f − 1 ( x ) = 9 x − 18

Explanation:

To find the inverse or

f − 1 ( x ) of a function we solve the equation for x

So in this example, we can start by subtracting

2 from both sides: y − 2 = 1 9 x + 2 − 2

Next we multiply

9 to each side to isolate the variable x 9 ( y − 2 ) = 1 x 9 ⋅ 9 9 y − 18 = x

Since the function of a line is written in terms of y we can simply switch x and y and rewrite the equation to get: y = 9 x− 18 or f − 1 ( x ) = 9 x − 18
