Answer:

y = (x-15)/-8

Explanation:

When solving for an inverse function, swap x and y without bringing the x coefficient with it, just simply swap the variables. Then, solve for y, and that's it.

y = -8x + 15

x = -8y + 15

x-15 = -8y

(x-15)/-8 = y

Explanation:

Hey there!

Given function is: y = -8x + 15

~ Interchange"X" and "y".

x = -8y + 15

~ Solve it

8y = 15-x

y = (15-x)/8

Therefore, the inverse of function is y = (15-x)/8.

Hope it helps!
