For ANY point (x,y) on the function f(x), the new point on f%5E-1%28x%29 will simply be the reverse of the original point (assuming that f(x) is invertible). So with respect to the original point (x,y) on f(x), the new point is (y,x)

In our case, the point (5,-4) is the corresponding point on f%5E-1%28x%29 to the given point (-4,5)
