Answer:


\huge\boxed{\sf f^(-1)(x)=5x+10}

Explanation:

Given function:


\displaystyle f(x)=(x)/(5) -2

Put f(x) = y


\displaystyle y=(x)/(5) -2

Swap x and y


\displaystyle x = (y)/(5) -2

Now, solve for y


\displaystyle x = (y)/(5) -2

Add 2 to both sides


\displaystyle x + 2 =(y)/(5)

Multiply 5 to both sides


5(x+2)=y

Distribute


5x + 10 =y

Put y = f⁻¹(x)


\boxed{f^(-1)(x)=5x+10}


\rule[225]{225}{2}
