Answer

The graph of $y=\tan{x}$, $\frac{\pi}{2} \le x \le \frac{\pi}{2}$ is a reflection about the line $y=x$ of the graph of $y=\tan^{-1}{x}$. Refer to the graph below.

Work Step by Step

Use a graphing calculator to graph the given functions to obtain the graph below. Notice that the graph of $y=\tan{x}$, $-\frac{\pi}{2} \le x \le \frac{\pi}{2}$ is a reflection about the line $y=x$ of the graph of the function $y=\tan^{-1}{x}$.
