Answer

$f^{-1} (x)=-x+2$

Work Step by Step

When we apply the horizontal test, it has been noticed that the function is one-to-one and verifies the horizontal test. Therefore, the function has an inverse function. To compute the inverse, we will have to interchange $x$ and $y$. $y=-x+2 \implies x= -y+2$ or, $-y=x-2$ Replace $y$ with $f^{-1} (x)$. so, $f^{-1} (x)=-x+2$
