1. **State the problem:** Find the inverse of the function $f(x) = \frac{2}{3}x - \frac{1}{3}$.
2. **Recall the formula and rules:** To find the inverse function $f^{-1}(x)$, we swap $x$ and $y$ in the equation and solve for $y$.
3. **Start with:**
$$y = \frac{2}{3}x - \frac{1}{3}$$
4. **Swap $x$ and $y$:**
$$x = \frac{2}{3}y - \frac{1}{3}$$
5. **Solve for $y$:**
Add $\frac{1}{3}$ to both sides:
$$x + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{3}y$$
6. **Isolate $y$ by dividing both sides by $\frac{2}{3}$:**
$$y = \frac{x + \frac{1}{3}}{\frac{2}{3}}$$
7. **Simplify the division:**
$$y = (x + \frac{1}{3}) \times \frac{3}{2}$$
8. **Distribute:**
$$y = \frac{3}{2}x + \frac{3}{2} \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{3}{2}x + \frac{1}{2}$$
9. **Final inverse function:**
$$f^{-1}(x) = \frac{3}{2}x + \frac{1}{2}$$
This means the inverse function $g(x)$ is:
$$g(x) = \frac{3}{2}x + \frac{1}{2}$$
