Answer

$a.\quad 6,$ $b.\quad 2,$ $c.\quad 0.$

Work Step by Step

If f has an inverse, and (a,b) is on the graph, this means that $f(a)=b$ and $f^{-1}(b)=a.$ The point $(6,2)$ is on the graph, so $f^{-1}(2)=6$ The point $(2.5)$ is on the graph, so $f^{-1}(5)=2$ The point $(0,6)$ is on the graph, so $f^{-1}(6)=0$
