I need help with this homeowrk problem. It states: find the 
inverse of the function f(x)={(-4,-6),(-6,-4),(-5,-3)}

The inverse of a function is a function that all the ordered pairs,
which represent points, have their x and y coordinates reversed,
so since

f(x) =  { (-4,-6),(-6,-4),(-5,-3) }

just turn all three ordered pairs backwards:

f-1(x) = { (-6,-4),(-4,-6),(-3,-5) }

That's all there is to it!
