Math Problem Statement

Inverse of this function in slpoe intervept form

Inverse of this function in slope-intercept form

Solution

The given function is f(x)=x+6f(x) = -x + 6.

To find the inverse of this function, follow these steps:

  1. Start by replacing f(x)f(x) with yy: y=x+6y = -x + 6

  2. Swap xx and yy (since finding the inverse means swapping the input and output): x=y+6x = -y + 6

  3. Solve for yy: x6=yx - 6 = -y y=6xy = 6 - x

Thus, the inverse function is: f1(x)=6xf^{-1}(x) = 6 - x

The inverse function is in slope-intercept form, f1(x)=x+6f^{-1}(x) = -x + 6, where the slope is 1-1 and the y-intercept is 66.
