Your equation is:

f(x) = 7x - 2

Solve for x.

Add 2 to both sides of this equation to get:

f(x) + 2 = 7x

Divide both sides of this equation by 7 to get:

(f(x) + 2)/7 = x

Since, in general, a = b implies that b = a, this equation becomes:

x = (f(x) + 2)/7

Replace x with f(x) and replace f(x) with x to get:

f(x) = (x+2)/7

That's your inverse function.

Graph both your function and your inverse function.

Set y = f(x) to get:

y = 7x - 2 (your regular function).

y = (x+2)/7 (your inverse function).

Graph also the function y = x.
