Answer:

If we have a function f(x) that has an inverse g(x), we have the relations:

f( g(x)) = x

g( f(x)) = x

Then if the coordinates for the function f(x) are points like (x₁, y₁)

The coordinates for the inverse, g(x), will be (y₁, x₁)

Now let's look at the table, here we can see that the coordinates for f(x) are:

(0, 650)

(100, 550)

(200, 450)

(340, 310)

(650, 0)

Then the coordinates of the inverse function will be:

(650, 0)

(550, 100)

(450, 200)

(340, 310)

(0, 650)
