Math Problem Statement
Consider the following relation.
S={(8,7),(3,4),(−1,−8),(−3,−9)} Step 1 of 2 : Find the inverse. Express your answer as a set of ordered pairs.
Solution
The inverse of a relation is obtained by swapping the coordinates of each ordered pair in the set. For the relation , we will swap the - and -coordinates of each pair.
Thus, the inverse relation is:
