Q. Find the inverse of the function.y=−4x−5Write your answer in the form ax+b. Simplify any fractions.y = ______
Swap x and y: Swap x and y in the equation y=−4x−5 to begin finding the inverse function.New function: x=−4y−5
Add 5 to isolate y: Add 5 to both sides of the equation x=−4y−5 to isolate the term with y.x+5=−4y−5+5Now simplify the equation to get x+5=−4y.
Divide by ext{-}4 to solve for y: Divide both sides of the equation x+5=−4y by ext{-}4 to solve for y.y=−4x+5Now simplify the equation to get y=−41x−45.
