Option D is correct

f⁻¹(x) = (x - 6)/(-3)

Step-by-step explanation

First of, the inverse of a function is a function that reverses the actions of the function. That is, for the inverse function, if we are given f(x), we would be able to obtain x.

The step to finding a function's inverse is to write y instead of f(x). We then rewrite by replacing the y by x and then make y the subject of formula, the y which is a subject of formula now, represents the inverse function, f⁻¹(x).

f(x) = -3x + 6

write y instead of f(x)

y = -3x + 6

rewrite by replacing the y by x

x = -3y + 6

We can rewrite this as

-3y + 6 = x

make y the subject of formula

-3y = x - 6

Divide both sides by -3

(-3y/-3) = (x - 6)/(-3)

y = (x - 6)/(-3)

f⁻¹(x) = (x - 6)/(-3)

Hope this Helps!!!
