Math, microeconomics or criminal justice
f(x) = 3 -4x
domain and range are all real numbers
It's a straight line with slope = -4 and y intercept = 3, x intercept = 3/4
y = 3-4x
switch the x and y
x = 3-4y
solve for y
4y=3-x
y = (3-x)/4
f^-1(x)= 3/4 -x/4
domain and range are all real numbers
It's a straight line with slope =-1/4, y intercept = 3/4, x intercept = 3
The 1st line and its inverse are symmetric about the line y=x
f(x) =7+8x
domain and range are all real numbers
It's a straight line with slope = 8, y intercept = 7, x intercept =-8/7
y= 7+8x
switch x and y
x=7+8y
solve for y
8y =x-7
y = x/8 - 7/8
domain and range are all real numbers
It's a straight line with slope = 1/8, y intercept =-7/8, x intercept = 7
y=7+8x and
y= x/8-7/8 are two lines that are symmetric about the line
y=x
