Answer:
x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that y varies directly with x then the equation relating them is
y = kx ← k is the constant of variation
To find k use the condition y = 12 when x = - 2, then
k = =
= - 6, thus
y = - 6x ← equation of variation
When y = - 6, then
- 6 = - 6x ( divide both sides by - 6 )
x = 1

The inverse of this function is y = x -
You can find the inverse of any function by switching the x and y values and then solving for the new y value. Once you've done that, what will be left over is the inverse function.
y = ----> Swap x and y
x = -----> Subtract 3/4 from both sides.
x - = y ----> rearrange to appropriate order
y = x -
And that is your inverse function.
