Question 32702: Inverse Coefficients of a Nonzero-Slope Affine Function

Original question and givens

Over R, let f:R→R be f(x)=(-2)x+(-11), with m≠0. Write the inverse as g(y)=uy+v and give (u,v) as reduced positive-denominator fractions, retaining /1 for integers.

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.

Step-by-step derivation

source roles = [qf-inverse-affine-coefficients, affine_inverse_coefficients, reals, []]

derived = [[SLOPE_FIRST_pair_fractions_RETAIN1]]

Affine inverse ORIGINAL reciprocal nonzero slope := div(1, -2)

Affine inverse ORIGINAL reciprocal nonzero slope = -1/2

Affine inverse ORIGINAL negative constant := sub(0, -11)

Affine inverse ORIGINAL negative constant = 11

Affine inverse ORIGINAL negative b over m := div(11, -2)

Affine inverse ORIGINAL negative b over m = -11/2

Affine inverse reverse g after f slope := mul(-1/2, -2)

Affine inverse reverse g after f slope = 1

Affine inverse reverse u times original b := mul(-1/2, -11)

Affine inverse reverse u times original b = 11/2

Affine inverse reverse g after f constant := sum(11/2, -11/2)

Affine inverse reverse g after f constant = 0

Affine inverse reverse f after g slope := mul(-2, -1/2)

Affine inverse reverse f after g slope = 1

Affine inverse reverse m times inverse constant := mul(-2, -11/2)

Affine inverse reverse m times inverse constant = 11

Affine inverse reverse f after g constant := sum(11, -11)

Affine inverse reverse f after g constant = 0

source roles = [-2, -11]

derived = [-1/2, -11/2, 1, 0, 1, 0]
