I don't how to find the inverse equation:
y= 2x +5
y= -2x+ 3
y= -4x + 3
y= 4x + 7

I assume that your question is asking how to solve x.
x = ( y - 5 ) / 2
x = ( y - 3 ) / -2
x = ( y - 3 ) / -4
x = ( y - 7 ) / 4
The general formula is
y = kx +c ≡ x = ( y - c ) / k

I think what you want to do is to solve the given equation for the other variable
y = 2x + 5
y - 5 = 2x
(y - 5)/2 = x
x = (y - 5)/2

Or do you mean x =
Take the first one:
y = 2x + 5
Subtract 5 from each side
y - 5 = 2x + 5 - 5
y - 5 = 2x
Divide each side by 2
(y - 5 ) / 2 = (2x) / 2
(1/2)y - (5/2) = x
x = (1/2) y - (5/2)

to find the inverse of these equations simply solve for x:
x = (y-5)/2
x = (3-Y)/2
x= (3 - y)/4
x = (y-7)/4

You mean -y?
-y = -2x -5

y= -0.5x+5
y=0.5x+3
y=0.25+3
y=+0.25x+7
