If f(x) = 3x - 5, what is the inverse function, f⁻¹(x)?

A f⁻¹(x) = 5 - 3x
B f⁻¹(x) = (x + 5) / 3
C f⁻¹(x) = 3 / (x - 5)
D f⁻¹(x) = (x - 5) / 3

✓ Correct Answer: Option B

To find the inverse, replace f(x) with y, swap x and y, then solve for y. So, x = 3y - 5. Adding 5 gives x + 5 = 3y. Dividing by 3 yields y = (x + 5) / 3.
