b. x = -6y - 2
c. y = ( -4 + 5x^2 )
d. y = square root of 5 + 8x
e. x = -5 Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Not a function:
x = -5
Why?: When x = -5, y can take on an infinite number of values.
It graphs as a vertical line thru all the points where x = -5.
