#"yes"#

Explanation:

#"if " f(g(x)=x" then inverse functions"#

#rArrf(g(x))=f(4/3x+8/3)#

#color(white)(rArrf(g(x)))=3/4(4/3x+8/3)-2#

#color(white)(rArrf(g(x)))=x+2-2=x#

#"this may be checked the other way"#

#"if " g(f(x))=x" then inverse functions"#

#rArrg(f(x))=g(3/4x-2)#

#color(white)(rArrg(f(x)))=4/3(3/4x-2)+8/3#

#color(white)(rArrg(f(x)))=x-8/3+8/3=x#

#rArrf(x)" and " g(x)" are inverse functions"#
