hahaWe are trying to find equation of form y=ax+b, where a is slope, and b is intercept, which passes through points (x1, y1) = (3, 0) and (x2, y2) = (0, -1).
Slope a is .
Intercept is found from equation , or . From that,
intercept b is , or .

y=(0.333333333333333)x + (-1)

Your graph:




now find the inverse function of the given inverse function which would be original function
to find the inverse, switch the places of and and simplify




-- that is your original function
