Homework Statement



Show that f and g are inverse functions (a) analytically and (b) graphically.

f(x) = 5x+1
g(x) = (x-1)/5

Homework Equations



I've got (a), but I'm unsure at how to solve for (b).

The Attempt at a Solution



Here's my (a): [tex]f(g(x)) = 5(x-1/5) + 1 = x[/tex]
How do I solve graphically?

The inverse of a function is the function reflected across the line x=y.
