Answer:
Draw a line segment from (-7, -2) to (3, 8)
See the diagram below.
You do not have to draw the blue dashed line. It's there to show how the points reflect over.
=========================================================
Explanation:
The inverse will have us swap x and y. The point (x,y) becomes (y,x)
The endpoint (-2, -7) becomes (-7, -2)
Also (8,3) moves to (3, 8)
Visually, these points are being reflected over the line y = x to form the inverse. We only need to worry about the endpoints because 2 points is the minimum needed to form a straight line.
Check out the diagram below. The red segment is the inverse. The blue dashed line is the line y = x. You don't have to plot this line as it's just a visual tool to see what's going on. Your teacher likely will only want the red segment.
Since the original segment is parallel to y = x, the inverse is also parallel to the mirror line. All three lines are parallel.
