To determine if y is a function of x, we only need to see that for each x, there is one and only one y output.

In this case, we see that y is a linear equation, and for each x we input into the function, we can get one and only one single value of y.

This means that we do have a function.

There can be much discussion about functions and their importance, but for the most part, the 1 to 1 aspect of any single x value to any single y value is the the most important of the function.

I hope this helps. :)
