The inverse function of f(x) = y is f(y) = x

This means, switch the coordinates of the points of the graph

If we choose a point on the given graph like (5, 3) it will be (3, 5) in the inverse function

Also, point (-5, -3) it will be (-3, -5) in the inverse function

You can plot them with point (0, 0) and draw the curve

Let me try to show it

It will be like that
