(X+4)/(Y-8) IS (Y-8)/(X+4)

Given a value, called x, a function produces a corresponding
value called y.
For example y=3x+4
y takes the x, multiplies it by 3 and then adds 4.
-----------------
The inverse function "undoes" what a function does to x.
Example y=(x-4)/3 is the inverse of the previous function.
This inverse function takes x, then subtracts 4, then divides
the result by 3.
---------------
The inverse function undoes what the function does.

The two are like machienes: one builds a car, the other tears it apart.
