Since the inverse of each function will contain (y,x) for any (x,y) of the other function, we can identify two other points for the two points given.

f contains (2,-1), so the inverse of f will contain (-1,2) in addition to the already given (9,4). We can now find the equation for . Slope is or m=5. What about y intercept? y=mx+b, b=y-mx, so pick a point; b=4-5*9=-41. so . Now you can find the original equation, f ?
