The inverse function
f^(-1)(x) is such that


f\left(f^(-1)(x)\right) = x

If
f(x)=-\frac34x+9, then we have


f\left(f^(-1)(x)\right) = -\frac34f^(-1)(x)+9 = x

Solve for the inverse :


-\frac34f^(-1)(x)+9 = x \\\\ -\frac34f^(-1)(x) = x-9 \\\\ f^(-1)(x) = -\frac43(x-9) \\\\ \boxed{f^(-1)(x) = -\frac43x+12}
