Answer:


f^(-1)(x) =
(3x-15)/(2)

Explanation:

Given

y =
(2)/(3) x + 5

Rearrange making x the subject

Multiply through by 3 to clear the fraction

3y = 2x + 15 ( subtract 15 from both sides )

3y - 15 = 2x ( divide both sides by 2 )


(3y-15)/(2) = x

Replace x by
f^(-1) (x) and y by x, thus


f^(-1) (x) =
(3x-15)/(2)
