No, they forgot to switch variable labels after solving for the independent variable...

y=-8x+4

y-4=-8x

(y-4)/-8=x 

Now that you have solved for the independent variable x, you switch the variable labels...

y=(x-4)/-8

f^-1(x)=(x-4)/-8     which should really be rewritten as:

f^-1(x)=(4-x)/8  :P

His work is not correct. You first must switch x and y and then solve for y.
