Answer:


\displaystyle f^(-1)(x) = -(x)/(14) + (2)/(7)

Explanation:

It is neither of these. To find the inverce, interchange the variables, then solve for y:


\displaystyle x = -14y + 4 \hookrightarrow (x - 4)/(-14) = (-14y)/(-14) \\ \\ f^(-1)(x) = -(x)/(14) + (2)/(7)

I am joyous to assist you at any time.
