**
Rewrite equation to express y in terms of x.
3x-4y=8
4y=3x-8
y=3x/4-2
You can see that for each x there is one y-value; therefore, this is a function by definition.
You can also see that there is no restriction on what the x values can be, so the domain is (-∞,∞) or all real numbers.
To determine range interchange x and y and solve for y. This is equivalent to expressing x in terms of y.
3x-4y=8
3y-4x=8
3y=4x+8
y=4x/3+8/3
You can also see that there is no restriction on what the x values can be, so the range is (-∞,∞) or all real numbers.
