as you already know, to get the inverse of any expression we start off by doing a quick switcheroo on the variables and then solving for "y", let's do so for this inverse, since finding the inverse of the inverse, will give us the original function :)


f^(-1)(x)=-3x+2\implies y~~ = ~~-3x+2\hspace{5em}\stackrel{\textit{quick switcheroo}}{x~~ = ~~-3y+2} \\\\\\ x-2=-3y\implies \cfrac{x-2}{-3}=y\implies \cfrac{2-x}{3}=y=f(x)
