In this example, we’re given a relation in the form of a chart, and we’re asked to find the inverse of the relation, then graph the relation and its inverse. To find the inverse of a relation, we simply switch the x and y values in each point. In other words, the point (1, -4) becomes (-4, 1), the point (2, 0) becomes (0, 2), the point (3, 1) becomes (1, 3), and the point (6, -1) becomes (-1, 6). Next, we’re asked to graph the relation and its inverse, so let’s first graph the relation. Notice that the relation contains the points (1, -4,), (2, 0), (3, 1), and (6, -1). And the inverse of the relation contains the points (-4, 1), (0, 2), (1, 3), and (-1, 6). Finally, it’s important to understand the following relationship between the graph of a relation and its inverse. If we draw a diagonal line through the coordinate system, which is the line that has the equation y = x, notice that the relation and its inverse are mirror images of each other in this line. In other words, the inverse of a relation is the reflection of the original relation in the line y = x.
