Answer:

f^-1(x) is - (x -3)/15

Explanation:

f(x) = -15x + 3

To find f^-1(x) equate f(x) to y

That's

y = f(x)

Which is

y = -15x + 3

Next interchange the terms x becomes y and y becomes x

That's

x = - 15y + 3

Make y the subject

We have

-15y = x - 3

Divide both sides by - 15

We get

y = x-3/-15

y = - x - 3/15

Therefore f^-1(x) is - (x -3)/15

Hope this helps you
