The inverse of a 2x2 matrix $\left[ \begin{array} { r r } a & b \ c & d \end{array} \right]$ is $\frac{1}{ad-bc}\left[ \begin{array} { r r } d & -b \ -c & a \end{array} \right]$. For the given matrix, $a = -1$, $b = 6$, $c = 0$, and $d = 2$, so its inverse is $\frac{1}{(-1)(2)-(0)(6)}\left[ \begin{array} { r r } 2 & -6 \ 0 & -1 \end{array} \right] = \left[ \begin{array} { r r } -1 & 3 \ 0 & \frac{1}{2} \end{array} \right]$.
