We are not here to do your work for you and give you the answers. We are here to help you learn how to get the answers.

The two matrices are inverses if their product is the identity matrix. You can determine that by yourself.

If they are not inverses, there is a simple formula for finding the inverse of a 2x2 matrix. You can also do that yourself.
