Answer

The following image shows the graph of $f(x)=-2x+3$ (red line) and its inverse, $f^{-1}(x)=\frac{x-3}{-2}$ (green line).

Work Step by Step

The function given: $f(x)=-2x+3$ Replace $f(x)$ with $y$: $y=-2x+3$ Make $x$ the subject: $\frac{y-3}{-2}=x$ Interchange $x$ and $y$: $\frac{x-3}{-2}=y$ Thus the inverse function is: $f^{-1}(x)=\frac{x-3}{-2}$ To graph the original function and its inverse function, either technology can be used or the graph is manually plotted by making a table of ordered pairs and joining points together.
