Verified Answer :

The inverse function of the function f(x) = mx + b can be determined by expressing the function in terms of x alone. hence, (y - b)/m = x. Then we exhange x and y, to result to (x - b)/m = y. In this case, m is not equal to zero. The answer to this problem hence is A>

we have

\(f(x)=mx+b\)

Find the inverse of f(x)

Let

\(y=f(x)\)

\(y=mx+b\)

Exchanges the variables x for y and y for x

\(x=my+b\)

isolate the variable y

\(my=x-b\)

\(y=\frac{x-b}{m}\)

Let

\(f(x)^{-1} =y\)

\(f(x)^{-1}=\frac{x-b}{m}\) -----> inverse function

Hence

In the inverse function the denominator can not be zero, therefore the value of m can not be equal zero

the answer is the option

\(m eq 0\)
