Answer 7

lets say you have to write 5x+6y=-12 in function form.
when you are writing an equation in function form, you usually solve for f(x) or g(x), but in this case, y is the same as f(x) or g(x). so to write 5x+6y=-12 in function form, you do this:


5x+6y=-12
6y= -5x -12 subtract 5x from both sides
y= -5/6x -2 divide both sides by 6
