how do i find the inverse of y=3x+2?
-------------------------------------------------------
answers:
Krishnamurthy say: inverse function y(x) = 3 x + 2
(x - 2) / 3
-
Φ² = Φ+1 say: y = 3x + 2 is x/(-2/3) + y/2 = 1
With x and y intercepts -2/3 and 2 respectively. This is a linear equation, so swap the intercepts to invert.
y/(-2/3)= -x/2 + 1 is y = x/3 - 2/3 — the inverse of y = 3x + 2
-
Como say: 3x = y - 2
x = y/3 - 2/3
g (y) = y/3 - 2/3
g(x) = x/3 - 2/3__________inverse function
-
llaffer say: Switch the variables around and solve for y again:
y = 3x + 2
x = 3y + 2
x - 2 = 3y
(x - 2) / 3 = y
or:
y = (1/3)x - 2/3
-
Paladin say: switch the x and y, then solve for y again
