To find the inverse of a function, we need to swap the positions of x and y and then solve for y. In other words, we replace f(x) with y and then solve for x.

  • So, let's start by swapping x and y in the function f(x) = 5x - 6:

x = 5y - 6

Next, we'll solve this equation for y:

x + 6 = 5y

y = (x + 6)/5

  • Therefore, the inverse of f(x) is f^-1(x) = (x + 6)/5, which is option C.
