I have displayed the image you uploaded. Let's go through the problems one by one:

### Problem 1:
You are given a set of ordered pairs \((8,3), (5,6), (-2,-3), (0,1), (7,12)\). The task is to find the inverse of the function described by these pairs.

#### Solution:
The inverse of a function swaps the x-values with the y-values. Therefore, the inverse set of ordered pairs would be:
\[
(3,8), (6,5), (-3,-2), (1,0), (12,7)
\]

### Problem 2:
You need to determine if \( f^{-1}(x) = \frac{x - 2}{5} \) is the inverse of \( f(x) = 5x + 2 \).

#### Solution:
To check this, let's follow two steps:
1. Find the inverse of \( f(x) = 5x + 2 \).
2. Compare the result with \( f^{-1}(x) = \frac{x - 2}{5} \).

To find the inverse, set \( y = 5x + 2 \) and solve for \( x \):
\[
y = 5x + 2 \implies x = \frac{y - 2}{5}
\]
Thus, \( f^{-1}(x) = \frac{x - 2}{5} \), which matches the given function.

So, yes, \( f^{-1}(x) = \frac{x - 2}{5} \) is the inverse of \( f(x) = 5x + 2 \).

### Problem 3:
You are asked to find the inverse of \( f(x) = \frac{3x - 2}{2x + 10} \).

#### Solution:
To find the inverse:
1. Set \( y = \frac{3x - 2}{2x + 10} \) and solve for \( x \).
2. Multiply both sides by \( (2x + 10) \) to get rid of the denominator:
   \[
   y(2x + 10) = 3x - 2
   \]
3. Expand:
   \[
   2xy + 10y = 3x - 2
   \]
4. Collect all terms with \( x \) on one side:
   \[
   2xy - 3x = -2 - 10y
   \]
5. Factor out \( x \):
   \[
   x(2y - 3) = -2 - 10y
   \]
6. Solve for \( x \):
   \[
   x = \frac{-2 - 10y}{2y - 3}
   \]
Thus, the inverse of \( f(x) = \frac{3x - 2}{2x + 10} \) is:
\[
f^{-1}(x) = \frac{-2 - 10x}{2x - 3}
\]

### Tip:
When solving for the inverse of a function, always ensure that the original function is one-to-one, meaning that each input has a unique output. Otherwise, the inverse won't be valid.
