Math Problem Statement
Use the graph of f to draw the graph of its inverse function.
Solution
The image shows a linear graph of a function , and the task is to draw the graph of its inverse function .
Steps to graph the inverse of a function:
- Reflect the graph over the line : The graph of the inverse function is a reflection of the original function across the line .
- Swap the coordinates: For each point on the original graph, the corresponding point on the inverse graph will be .
Graph details:
- The line passes through key points such as , , and .
- For the inverse, swap these points:
- remains unchanged.
- becomes .
- becomes .
Drawing the inverse:
- Plot the points , , , and extend the line accordingly.
- Ensure the line is symmetric about .
