y = 6/5x-3
is it: (6/5)*x -3
or: (6/5x) - 3
or: 6/(5x - 3)
Regardless, the procedure is the same:
Isolate the x term(s) and solve for x
try this one:
y = (6/5)*x -3
(6/5)*x = -y - 3
x = -(5/6)*(y+3)
or this one:
y = (6/5x) - 3
(6/5x) = -3 -y
5x/6 = 1/(-3 -y)
x = -6/((y+3)*5)
Given: f(x) = 6/5x-3
Rewritten for clarity, f(x) = (6/(5x)) - 3
or y = (6/(5x)) - 3
To find the inverse function, simply swap the x and y.
From: y = 6/(5x) - 3
To: x = 6/(5y) - 3
Now solve for the y.
x + 3 = 6/(5y)
5y = 6 / (x+3)
y = 6 / (5(x+3))
y = (6/5) / (x+3)
y is the inverse function, denoted as f-1(x).
Solution: f-1(x) = (6/5) / (x+3)
