Graph that equation. If the graph pass the horizontal line test, it is an inverse equation (because the graph of an inverse function is just a symmetry graph with respect to the line y= x of a graph of a one-to-one function).
If it is given f(x) and g(x) as the inverse of f(x), check if g(f(x)) = x and f(g(x)) = x. If you show that g(f(x)) = x and f(g(x)) = x, then g(x) is the inverse of f(x).

How do you find the inverse of the slope of the line?
Write the equation of the line in the standrad form: y = mx + c The slope of this line is m The inverse of the slope is then 1/m. Note, that for a line perpendicular to the first, you need the negative inverse, not just the inverse. And the negative inverse of m is -1/m.
How do you solve an algebraic equation with a fraction in it?
the fraction means for you to divide but if you are doing inverse operation, you are multiplying.
What is the inverse of the equation y equals 2x plus 3?
x=(y-3)/2
How can you use inverse operations to solve an equation without algebra titles?

How do you find the inverse of an equation?
Generally, to find the inverse of an equation, replace every x with y and replace every y (otherwise written f(x) ) with an x. Then it's "good form" to get the equation into y= form. For an equation involving only two variables, the inverse can be found by swapping the x and y variables. Then, solve for y. If the equation does not define y as a function of x, the function f does not have an inverse. In order to start talking about an inverse, be sure first, that the given equation defines y as a function of x. Not every graph in the rectangular system is the graph of a function. For example, if you have an equation: x^2/4 + y^2/9 = 1 it's wrong to say the inverse will be: y^2/4 + x^2/9 = 1. Both of the above equations are ellipses. The original equation is an ellipse with the major axis (the long axis) on the y-axis, while the other has the major axis on the x-axis. Both of them do not represent a function, because if you solve for y, you'll see that two values of y can be obtained for a given x. Please note that if you are talking about functions, then not every function has an inverse, as a function must be one-to-one in order to have an inverse. A function must pass the "horizontal line test", which states that the graph of a function must never intersect with a horizontal line more than once, anywhere on it's domain. Inverse functions have some special properties: 1) The graph of an inverse function is the reflection of the original function reflected across the line y = x. 2) A function and it's inverse cancel each other out through functional composition.
