Find the inverse of y = - 1/2x - 5

  f^-1(x) = -2(x +5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x.

  y +5 = -1/2x . . . . . add 5

  -2(y +5) = x . . . . . multiply by -2

If you want this in "functional form", you can write it as ...

  f^-1(x) = -2(x +5) . . . . . swap x and y, then use f^-1(x) for y

the equivalent expression are always the hardest ones but you look at the gcf also

step-by-step explanation:

in the attachment.   i didn't see your choices.   the word which means there is choices.

step-by-step explanation:

(x,y)

x tells you how much left or right you go from the origin

y tells you how much down or up you go from the origin

so for example (-3,2), you go left 3 and up twice. i denoted which of the ordered pairs is which in my graph.
