The set A= {(-4,4), (-3,2), (-2,1), (0,-1), (1,-3), (2,-5)} of ordered pairs form a function. What is the inverse of this function and plot the inverse on a Cartesian plane?

Final answer:

The inverse of the function given by set A is found by swapping the x and y coordinates of each ordered pair, resulting in the set of pairs that form the inverse function, which can be plotted on a Cartesian plane.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the inverse of a function represented by set A = {(-4,4), (-3,2), (-2,1), (0,-1), (1,-3), (2,-5)}, we swap the x and y coordinates in each ordered pair. This gives us the set of ordered pairs that form the inverse function.

So the inverse of the function is:

  • (4,-4)
  • (2,-3)
  • (1,-2)
  • (-1,0)
  • (-3,1)
  • (-5,2)

To plot the inverse on a Cartesian plane, we take each of these new ordered pairs and plot them as points on the plane, then connect them if they form a continuous function.
