Answer 1

To find the inverse function of \( f(x) = -\frac{9}{5}x \), we can follow these steps:

1. Replace \( f(x) \) with \( y \):
\[
y = -\frac{9}{5}x
\]

2. Swap \( x \) and \( y \):
\[
x = -\frac{9}{5}y
\]

3. Solve for \( y \):
Multiply both sides by \( -\frac{5}{9} \):
\[
y = -\frac{5}{9}x
\]

Thus, the inverse function is:
\[
f^{-1}(x) = -\frac{5}{9}x
\]

Now, let's look at the multiple choice options given:

1. \( f^{-1}(x) = \frac{5x}{9} \)
2. \( f^{-1}(x) = -\frac{9}{5}x \)
3. \( f^{-1}(x) = \frac{5}{9}x \)
4. \( f^{-1}(x) = -\frac{9}{5}x \)

The correct answer based on our calculation is:
\[
f^{-1}(x) = -\frac{5}{9}x
\]

None of the given options exactly match this. It seems like there might be an oversight in the options provided, as the correct inverse \( -\frac{5}{9}x \) does not appear in the list.
