Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function

f(x)=5x+a

and f^{-1} (10)=-1(f^{-1} \text{is the inverse function of f})

let f(x)=y

Substitute in f(x)

y=5x+a\\y-a=5x\\x=\frac{y-a}{5}

From the definition inverse function

if f(x)=y    ⇒   f^{-1} (y)=x

Substitute this in the above expression

f^{-1} (y)=\frac{y-a}{5}

Substitute y=10

⇒

f^{-1} (10)=\frac{10-a}{5}\\-1=\frac{10-a}{5}\\-5=10-a\\a=10+5\\a=15

Therefore a=15
