To find the inverse of the function [tex]\(h(x)\)[/tex], we need to swap each [tex]\(x\)[/tex] and [tex]\(y\)[/tex] value in the given pairs.

The function [tex]\(h(x)\)[/tex] is given as:
[tex]\[ h(x) = \{(3, -5), (5, -7), (6, -9), (10, -12), (12, -16)\} \][/tex]

To find [tex]\(h^{-1}(x)\)[/tex], we will swap the elements of each pair. Let's perform this operation step-by-step:

1. Swap the pair [tex]\((3, -5)\)[/tex] to get [tex]\((-5, 3)\)[/tex].
2. Swap the pair [tex]\((5, -7)\)[/tex] to get [tex]\((-7, 5)\)[/tex].
3. Swap the pair [tex]\((6, -9)\)[/tex] to get [tex]\((-9, 6)\)[/tex].
4. Swap the pair [tex]\((10, -12)\)[/tex] to get [tex]\((-12, 10)\)[/tex].
5. Swap the pair [tex]\((12, -16)\)[/tex] to get [tex]\((-16, 12)\)[/tex].

After swapping all pairs, the inverse function [tex]\(h^{-1}(x)\)[/tex] is:
[tex]\[ h^{-1}(x) = \{(-5, 3), (-7, 5), (-9, 6), (-12, 10), (-16, 12)\} \][/tex]

Thus, the correct choice from the given options is:
[tex]\[ \{(-5, 3), (-7, 5), (-9, 6), (-12, 10), (-16, 12)\} \][/tex]
