Write the inverse equation for each of the following equations.

1. $y=3x−8$ 

   Hint (a):

   Interchange $x\ \text{and}\ y$. Then solve your inverse (new) equation for $y$.

   Step 1(a):

   $x = 3y-8$

   Step 2(a):

   $x+8=3y$

   Step 3(a):

   $\frac{x + 8}{3} = y \text{ or}$

   $y = \frac{1}{3}(x+8) \text{ or}$

   $y = \frac{1}{3}x + \frac{8}{3}$

2. $y = \frac { 1 } { 2 } x + 6$ 

   Answer (b):

   $y=2(x−6)$

   $\text{or}\ y=2x−12$

3. $y = \frac { x + 6 } { 2 }$ 

   Answer (c):

   $y=2x−6$
