what is the inverse of the linear parent function?

How would you graph the inverse and what are the values for the inverse???

Is the linear parent function the function y = x? If so, then it is its own inverse. If functions are inverses, then the x values of one are the y values of the other and vice versa. On y = x you would have points such as (-2, -2), (1,1), and (7,7). Switching the x and y values doesn't change anything.
