**Understanding Inverse Functions**
Below is the entire graph of the function \( f \).
**Task: Graph \( f^{-1} \), the inverse of \( f \).**
### Diagram Explanation
The provided image showcases the graph of the function \( f \) plotted on a Cartesian coordinate system. The graph of \( f \) starts from approximately \( (-8, -8) \), ascends to a peak near \( (-4, 2) \), dips slightly around \( (0, 4) \), and then continues to rise up to approximately \( (8, 8) \).
**Graph Interpretation:**
- **Axes**: Both the x-axis and y-axis range from \(-8\) to \(8\) and are labeled accordingly.
- **Grid**: The graph is overlaid on a grid, aiding in precise plotting and interpretation of points.
**Challenge:**
Using this graph of \( f \), graph its inverse function \( f^{-1} \). Remember, the inverse function \( f^{-1} \) will reflect the original function \( f \) across the line \( y = x \).
**Hints:**
1. Identify key points on graph \( f \) (e.g., \( (x, y) \) coordinates).
2. Reflect these points to \( (y, x) \) to plot \( f^{-1} \).
3. Sketch the resulting curve of \( f^{-1} \).
Understanding and plotting \( f^{-1} \) deepens comprehension of inverse functions and their relationship with the original functions.

This exercise helps students grasp the concept of inverse functions practically by reflecting the given graph across the line \( y = x \).
