For the graph of $f$: Find $y=5$ on the Y axis , then find the point(s) on the graph of $f$ with second coordinate $5$, determine it's first coordinate, and that is the key desired value for $x$. | For the mapping diagram of $f$: Find $y=5$ on the target axis , then find $x$ on the source axis with the function arrow pointing to $5$. |
To do this, look for the point where the graph of $f$ intersects the line $y=5$. | To do this,look for the arrow that joins the point $x $ on the source axis to the point $y=5$ on the target axis. |
