Y2-y1/x2-x1
(1,14) & (3,4)
y2= 4
y1=14
x2=3
x1=1

So....

(4-14)/(3-1) = -10/2 = -5

The answer should be negative instead of positive, she probably subtracted 4 from 14 instead.

Find the inverse function of h(x) = -2/3x + 6.

nalin [4]

Answer:

$h^{-1}(x)=-\frac{3}{2}x+9$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find inverse of a function, follow the steps below:

1. replace h(x) with y

2. Interchange x and y

3. Solve for the new y

4. Replace y to $h^{-1}(x)$ (this is the inverse function)

Step 1: y = -2/3x+6

Step 2: x = -2/3y+6

Step 3:

$x=-\frac{2}{3}y+6\\\frac{2}{3}y=-x+6\\y=\frac{-x}{\frac{2}{3}}+\frac{6}{\frac{2}{3}}\\y=-\frac{3}{2}x+9$

Step 4:

$y=-\frac{3}{2}x+9\\h^{-1}(x)=-\frac{3}{2}x+9$

This is the inverse function.
