The inverse of the function is
y=-(2)/(7) x+(8)/(7)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is
f(x)=-(7)/(2) x+4

To determine the inverse of a function, we need to interchange the variables and solve for y.

Let us interchange the variables x and y

Thus, we have,


x=-(7)/(2) y+4

Now, we shall solve for y

Subtracting both sides of the equation by 4, we get,


x-4=-(7)/(2) y

Multiplying both sides of the equation by
-(2)/(7), we get,


-(2)/(7) (x-4)= y

Switch sides, we have,


y=-(2)/(7) (x-4)

Multiplying the terms within the bracket, we have,


y=-(2)/(7) x+(8)/(7)

Thus, the inverse of the function is
y=-(2)/(7) x+(8)/(7)
