Question

What is the inverse of the given relation?

y=3x+12

Answer 1

To find the inverse of the given relation y = 3x + 12, we first replace y with x and x with y and then solve for y.

So the equation becomes x = 3y + 12.

Next, we need to isolate y.

x = 3y + 12
x - 12 = 3y
(x - 12)/3 = y
y = (x - 12)/3

Therefore, the inverse of the given relation y = 3x + 12 is y = (x - 12)/3.
