Answer:


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

Explanation:

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

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

y - 2 =
(1)/(3) x ( multiply both sides by 3 to clear the fraction )

3(y - 2) = x

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


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