Question

What is the inverse of the equation y = 5x + 1?

Answer 1

Hello @naomyvazquez and Welcome to OpenStudy! :)

Sorry for answering a little late

to find the inverse of an equation, you would switch the "x" and the "y"
then try to get the new "y" by itself.


so in this case, the inverse would be: x = 5y + 1

and now we have to get y by itself to make it look right :)

you can do that by subtracting 1 from both sides
then dividing both sides by 5
