x + b/a Replace f(x) with y, interchange x and y and solve for y.

Answer:


f^(-1) (x) =
(x+b)/(a)

Explanation:

let y = f(x) and rearrange making x the subject

y = ax - b ( add b to both sides )

y + b = ax ( divide both sides by a )


(y+b)/(a) = x

Change y back into terms of x with x =
f^(-1) (x) , then


f^(-1) (x) =
(x+b)/(a)
