Answer:

m = 9, n = 2

Explanation:

Find
f^(-1) (x) by letting y = f(x) and rearranging making x the subject, that is

y = mx + n ( subtract n from both sides )

y - n = mx ( divide both sides by m )


(y-n)/(m) = x

Change y back into terms of x with x =
f^(-1) (x) , then


f^(-1) (x) =
(x-n)/(m)

Given
f^(-1) (x) = g(x) , then


(x-n)/(m) =
(x-2)/(9)

By comparison of the 2 sides

m = 9 and n = 2
