Answer:
y = x + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The expression x-2 is from the equation y = x - 2.
To find the inverse of the equation, <u>switch the "x" and "y" variables</u>, then solve or <u>isolate for "y"</u>, meaning to separate it from the other numbers.
y = x - 2 Original equation
x = y - 2 Switched "x" and "y" variables
x + 2 = y - 2 + 2 Add 2 to both sides to cancel out '-2' on the side with "y"
x + 2 = y
y = x + 2 Variable is on left side in standard formatting
To isolate, do the reverse operation for the number you want to get rid of.
On the side with "y", I wanted to get rid of '-2' so I could separate "y" from everything else. '+2' is the reverse operation for '-2'.
