Question

find the linear functions.
the x and y intercepts of the inverse function are 5 and -1 respectively

Answer 1

a bit tricky, but easy! :D

Answer 2

What does having the respectively do?
or is this one of those words just to throw you off.

Answer 3

you have to find the equation of the inverse first, then find it's inverse, finally that will be your answer.

Answer 4

wow

Answer 5

yo? stuck?

Answer 6

yea

Answer 7

u just need the answers right?

Answer 8

no I have to show my work

Answer 9

\[y = \frac x5-1\]
now find it's inverse.

Answer 10

Reallly? :/

Answer 11

\[y=x/5-1=4\]

Answer 12

HOW DID YOU GOT THAT?

Answer 13

i don't know

Answer 14

what should i do now? :o

Answer 15

pull your hair out i guess

Answer 16

I know be patience(?) with me

Answer 17

Lol, Dont worry man!!
im patient.

im just asking.. what u want now?
working step by step?

Answer 18

yes that would be great

Answer 19

(5,0) and (0,-1)

slope = (-1,-0)/(0-5)
slope = 1/5

y = mx + b
0 = -1(5)/5 + b
b = -1

So equation for inverse = y = 1x/5 -1

now finding it's inverse,

y = (x-5)/5
5y + 5 = x
\[f^{-1}(x)=5x+5\]

Answer 20

So the equation for the final answer is,
y = 5x + 5

Answer 21

ok I understand how to find the inverse now I guess i just needed to see it done.

Answer 22

so any time that i only have 2 numbers I will stick a 0 in there to help out.

Answer 23

No!!!
remember,
when x intercepts y = 0
when y intercepts x = 0

Answer 24

thats right
Thanks

Answer 25

You welcome.
