You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Well, if you are in Alg 1 you are probably just looking for an inverse of ordered pairs, in order to find the inverse you need to swap the x and y values..
here is my function (1,2),(3,9),(7,8)
by swapping the X and Y values, here is what my inverse is
(2,1),(9,3),(8,7)
Hope the Helps, Mr. C
