NO!!! As a matter of fact, unless the function is a one-to-one function, where each x in the domain has one and only one image in the range and no y in the range is the image of more than one x, then it won't ever be a function after being inversed. Just remember to switch the x's and y's with each other and then solve for y to get the inverse. If you don't believe me, then use then graph the function and then its inverse and do the vertical line test on both.

Is the inverse of a linear function not a function?
The inverse of a linear function is always a linear function. There are a few ways to approach this.To think about it, you can imagine flipping the x and y axes. Essentially this equates to turning the graph of the linear function on its side to reveal the new inverse function which is still a straight line.More rigorously, the linear function y = ax + b has the inverse equation x = (1/a)y - (b/a). This is a linear function in y.
What linear functions are non inverse function?
x = constant.
How do you do linear equations?
To solve linear equations, you always use the inverse operations
What is linear function?
A function is an equation that is a straight line when plotted on a graph.
Is there a difference between linear equations and functions?
A linear equation IS a function. A function can look like X2+X+C, or X3+0, or X+Y+C, or many other ways. The function X+Y+C is a function in two variables, and can be a linear equation.
