Answer

$f^{-1}(x)=-\dfrac{x+3}{2}$

Work Step by Step

The expression $f(x)=-2x+3$ is equivalent to $y=-2x+3$. Interchanging the $x$ and $y$ variables, and then solving for $y$, then the inverse is \begin{array}{l} x=-2y+3\\ 2y=-x+3\\ y=-\dfrac{x+3}{2}\\ .\end{array} Hence, the inverse is $ f^{-1}(x)=-\dfrac{x+3}{2} .$
