Full solution

Q. Find the inverse of the function.\newliney=−5x+8y = -5x + 8\newlineWrite your answer in the form ax+bax + b. Simplify any fractions.\newliney=y = ______
  1. Swap xx and yy: To find the inverse of the function, we first swap xx and yy. This gives us the equation x=−5y+8x = -5y + 8.
  2. Add and isolate yy: Next, we need to solve for yy. To do this, we add 5y5y to both sides of the equation to get x+5y=8x + 5y = 8.
  3. Divide by 55: Now, we subtract xx from both sides to isolate the term with yy. This gives us 5y=8−x5y = 8 - x.
  4. Solve for y: To solve for y, we divide both sides of the equation by 55. This results in y=8−x5y = \frac{8 - x}{5}.
  5. Rewrite in ax+bax + b form: We can rewrite the equation in the form ax+bax + b by distributing the division across the terms in the numerator. This gives us y=−15x+85y = -\frac{1}{5}x + \frac{8}{5}.
