You can also find and apply inverses to relations and functions. To graph the inverse relation, you can reflect each point across the line y = x. This is equivalent to switching the x- and y-values in each ordered pair of the relation.
A relation is a set of ordered pairs. A function is a relation in which each x-value has, at most, one y-value paired with it.
Remember!

When the relation is also a function, you can write the inverse of the function f(x) as f–1(x). This notation does not indicate a reciprocal.
Functions that undo each other are inverse functions.
To find the inverse function, use the inverse operation. In the example above, 6 is added to x in f(x), so 6 is subtracted to find f–1(x).
