Answer

Finally, write the equation for the inverse relation in the form \( y = g(x) \), which gives \( y = 2x + 3 \).

Steps

Step 1 :Write the equation for the relation in the form \( y = f(x) \), which gives \( y = \frac{x - 3}{2} \).

Step 2 :The inverse of a relation is found by exchanging \( x \) and \( y \). So, replacing \( x \) with \( y \) and \( y \) with \( x \), we get \( x = \frac{y - 3}{2} \).

Step 3 :Finally, write the equation for the inverse relation in the form \( y = g(x) \), which gives \( y = 2x + 3 \).
