Please do your best not to post with none of your own work showing.

Do you know how to find an Inverse Function?

No

tkhunny · Answer

Too bad.  That would have been useful.

Can you reflect (8,0) across the line x = y?  Where does it go?

helpmewithhomework · Answer

Like before? (8,-0)?

tkhunny · Answer

Why would a reflection across x = y be the same as a reflection across the x-axis?

1) "-0" doesn't mean anything.
2) Look at it on a set of coordinate axes and reason it out.  Where does it go?

No guessing.
