Question

Suppose f(x) = mx + b. What is the inverse function in terms of m and b?

Answer 1

Answer:

f^(-1)(x) = (x-b)/m  or  x/m - b/m

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = y = mx + b

To find the inverse function, interchange x and y and solve for y, i.e.

x = my + b

my = x-b

y = (x-b)/m = x/m - b/m
