The inverse of the function f(x) = -3x + 5 is
f^(-1)(x)= -(x)/(3)+(5)/(3)

What is the inverse of a function?

The inverse of a function is changes what occurred in the original function. Suppose we have a function f(x) that assign an element X and maps it to Y. The inverse of the function switches this process, represented by
f^(-1) and maps element Y to X.

The inverse of the function f(x) = y = -3x + 5 can be determined by the following process. Let's interchange y with x, such that:

x = -3y + 5

3y = -x + 5

Divide both sides by 3


(3y)/(3) = (-x+5)/(3)


y} = -(x)/(3)+(5)/(3)


f^(-1)(x)= -(x)/(3)+(5)/(3)

Therefore, the correct inverse of the function f(x) = -3x + 5 is
f^(-1)(x)= -(x)/(3)+(5)/(3)
