In the future, you should post all possible answer choices to have a complete post. However, there's enough information to get the answer.

The original set has points in the form (x,y)

The first point is (x,y) = (-49,7) making x = -49 and y = 7. When we find the inverse, we simply swap the x and y values. The inverse undoes the original function and vice versa. So if (-49, 7) is in the original function, then (7, -49) is in the inverse. The rest of the points follow the same pattern.

We end up with this answer

{ (7, -49), (8, -56), (9, -63), (10, -70) }
