Answer 3

This had better not be a quiz :/

Answer 4

Well then, a way to do this is see if you can rearrange and manipulate the equation so that y stands alone on one side of the =sign and on the other side, an expression that only involves x (no y). No matter how complicated the expression, as long as y is alone on one side.

Answer 5

ok let me give it a shot, one sec

Answer 6

-y=-6x+24
y=6x-24

Answer 7

6x-y=24 tr solving for x by isolating it move y not x

Answer 8

Good job. Now if that can be done (namely, isolating y on one side and only having an expression of x on the other) then the equation is a function

Answer 9

ok so 6x=24+y
x=4+y/4

Answer 10

specifically, y is a function of x.

Answer 11

x=4+y/6 is what I meant

Answer 12

ty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 13

This is another thing.
Since it is x that you isolated on one side and had an expression using only y on the other, you may now also conclude that x is a function of y.
