Math Problem Statement

What is the inverse of the equation y=3/2x

A. y=3x−2�=3�−2

B. y=−32x�=−32�

C. y=23x�=23�

D. y=x+32

Solution

To find the inverse of the equation y=32xy = \frac{3}{2}x, follow these steps:

  1. Replace yy with xx and xx with yy: x=32yx = \frac{3}{2}y

  2. Solve for yy: y=23xy = \frac{2}{3}x

Therefore, the inverse of the equation y=32xy = \frac{3}{2}x is:

C. y=23xy = \frac{2}{3}x
