it is -5 because a function cannot have more than one value for x, if it does it is not a function.

There is such thing as the vertical line test which helps to test whether an equation is a function or not.

Vertical Line Test

Pass - The equation is a function

|dw:1387976032192:dw|


Fail - The equation is NOT a function
|dw:1387976125213:dw|
