I need help ASAP!! A, B, C, D

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Both f(x) and its inverse function intersect at point (2, 2).

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, let's begin defining f(x) = y.

Since the linear function f(x) intersects at

• 6 on the y-axis; and

• 3 on the x-axis;

we can deduce the following equation:

6x + 3y = 6(3)

6x + 3y = 18

3y = -6x + 18

y = -6x/3 + 18/3

y = -2x + 6

f(x) = -2x + 6

Then, we'd want to find the inverse of f(x), which is f`¹(x).

f(x) = -2x + 6

y = -2x + 6

Interchange the variable y to x and vice versa.

x = -2y + 6

2y = -x + 6

y = (-1/2)x + 3

f`¹(x) = (-1/2)x + 3

Since both f(x) and its inverse function are equal to y, set them both as equal.

f(x) = f`¹(x)

-2x + 6 = (-1/2)x + 3

-2x + (1/2)x = 3 - 6

(-3/2)x = -3

x = 2

Substitute x = 2 into y = -2x + 6.

y = -2(2) + 6

y = -4 + 6

y = 2

Now that we know x = 2 and y = 2, then the intersection point of (x, y) must be (2, 2).

I hope this helps! Sorry if my English didn't really help with giving a clearer explanation.
