To find the inverse function \( f^{-1}(x) \) for the given function \( f(x) = 5x + 3 \), we follow these steps:
Replace \( f(x) \) with \( y \):
\[
y = 5x + 3
\]
Solve for \( x \) in terms of \( y \):
\[
y - 3 = 5x
\]
\[
x = \frac{y - 3}{5}
\]
Now switch \( x \) and \( y \) to find the inverse:
\[
f^{-1}(x) = \frac{x - 3}{5}
\]
Thus, the inverse function is:
\[
f^{-1}(x) = \frac{x - 3}{5}
\]
So the correct answer from your multiple choice options is:
\[
f^{-1}(x) = \frac{x - 3}{5}
\]
