Question: Suppose y = L(x) = ax + b (with a 0) is the equation of the line tangent to the graph of a one-to-one

Suppose y = L(x) = ax + b (with a ≠ 0) is the equation of the line tangent to the graph of a one-to-one function f at (x0, y0). Also, suppose that y = M(x) = cx + d is the equation of the line tangent to the graph of f-1 at (y0, x0).

a. Express a and b in terms of x0 and y0.

b. Express c in terms of a, and d in terms of a, x0, and y0.

c. Prove that L-1 (x) = M(x).
