Determine whether the formula describes y as a function of x. Explain your reasoning. y = -x

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

notice how any number you plug in for x, you will always get EXACTLY ONE value for y

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

because of this, you have a function

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

if you plugged in say x = 2 and got y = 3 and y = 4 at the same time, then you wouldn't have a function but that never happens here
