a)
f(x) is the same as y
y=1/3 x +4

to find inverse, swap and x and y:
x=1/3 y + 4
x-4= 1/3 y
(x-4) x 3 = y
3x -12= y
the inverse(g(x)), is: 3x-12

b) if f(x) and g(x) are inverses of each other, than (f о g)(x) will end up with just "x"

(f о g)(x)=x
(f о g)(x)= f(g(x))
(f о g)(x)= f(3x-12)
(f о g)(x)= 1/3(3x-12)+4
(f о g)(x)= (3x-12)/3 +4
(f о g)(x)= x-4+4
(f о g)(x)= x

c)
You will find that the graphs are mirror images of each other 
the graph for f(x) is an oblique line that passes through the points(-12,4)
the graph for g(x) is an oblique line that passes through the points(4,-12)

Which is the approximate solution for the system of equations 3x+4y=2 and 4x+y=-4

harina [27]

$3x+4y=2\qquad\text{subtract 3x from both sides}\\\\4y=-3x+2\qquad\text{divide both sides by 4}\\\\y=-\dfrac{3}{4}x+\dfrac{2}{4}\to y=-\dfrac{3}{4}x+\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\for\ x=0\to y=-\dfrac{3}{4}(0)+\dfrac{1}{2}=0+\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{1}{2}\to\left(0,\ \dfrac{1}{2}\right)\\\\for\ x=2\to y=-\dfrac{3}{4}(2)+\dfrac{1}{2}=-\dfrac{3}{2}+\dfrac{1}{2}=-\dfrac{2}{2}=-1\to(2,\ -1)\\--------------------------------\\$

$4x+y=-4\qquad\text{subtract 4x from both sides}\\\\y=-4x-4\\\\for\ x=0\to y=-4(0)-4=0-4=-4\to(0,\ -4)\\\\for\ x=-1\to y=-4(-1)-4=4-4=0\to(-1,\ 0)\\\\Answer:\ \boxed{A.\ (-1.4,\ 1.5)}$
