g^-1(x) = -3/4x +3/2

This is the first selection.

Explanation:

Given:

g(x)=−4/3x +2

Substitute g^-1(x) for every instance of x:

g(g^-1(x))=−4/3g^-1(x) +2

We know that one of the properties of a function and its inverse is, g(g^-1(x))= x, therefore, the left side becomes x:

x=−4/3g^-1(x) +2

Solve for g^-1(x):

−4/3g^-1(x) +2 = x

−4/3g^-1(x) = x -2

g^-1(x) = -3/4x +3/2

This is the first selection.
