= Solution

Swap the components of every <ordered pair> using a <list comprehension>:

``
invert :: [(a, a)] -> [(a, a)]
invert r = [(y, x) | (x, y) <- r]
``

Thus $\boxed{\operatorname{invert}(R)=R^{-1}}$, the <converse relation>. Swapping is a <bijection>, since doing it twice restores the original pair. Therefore distinct input pairs remain distinct; no equality constraint or <duplicate removal> is necessary.
