To rewrite as a function of x, we need y, the variable that depends on x, on one side by itself.
To accomplish this, we first add 9x to each side of the equation to arrive at -10y+=+-60+%2B+9x. Now we divide each side by -10 to have y by itself on the left side. This leaves us with y+=+6+-+%289%2F10%29%2Ax, which is your original equation rewritten as an explicit function of x.
