Question 484911: Determine which equation represents y as a function of x.

a. y = −3x − 5
b. y ^(2) = −3x
c. ( y + 4)^(2) + (x − 3)^(2) = 18
d. x = y ^(2) + 5y
e. None of the above

a associates a to each ; in other words, for any value of you plug in to the equation, you can find a single value for
son your answer is a. y = −3x − 5
However, in the second, third, and fourth equation , for every value of that you plug in there are possible values of that will work.





=+-
so, if is , can be either or
