Explanation:

This question is testing ones ability to recognize and construct a function's inverse from its graph.

For the purpose of Common Core Standards, "Read values of an inverse function from a graph or a table, given that the function has an inverse." falls within the Cluster B of "Build new functions from existing functions" concept (CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSF-BF.B.4c). It is important to note that this standard is not directly tested on but is used for building a deeper understanding on inverses and their functions.

Knowing the standard and the concept for which it relates to, we can now do the step-by-step process to solve the problem in question.

Step 1: Identify what it means to be an inverse.

An inverse function is found algebraically as follows.

$y=x+c\Rightarrow x=y+c$

Now solve for the variable in the new (inverse) function.

$\\x=y+c \\x-c=y \\y^{-1}=x-c$

Graphically, the inverse is the mirror image reflected over the line of symmetry. In other words, the coordinate pair components are switched.

Step 2: Construct coordinate pairs of the given graph.

Looking at the graph above, the following table of coordinate pairs can be constructed.

$\begin{tabular}{ |c|c| } \hline x & y \\ \hline -4 & 0 \\ -3&1\\ -2&2\\ -1&3\\ 0& 4 \\ 4&8\\ \hline \end{tabular}$

Step 3: Swap the points with the points to create the coordinate pairs of the inverse graph.

$\begin{tabular}{ |c|c| } \hline x & y \\ \hline 0&-4 \\ 1&-3\\ 2&-2\\ 3&-1\\4&0 \\ 8&4\\ \hline \end{tabular}$

Step 4: Graph the inverse function.
