Question

Is the equation y=5/3x-100/3 a function explain why or why not

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes, it is a function. In particular it is the equation of a line with slope 5/3 and a y intercept of -100/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form equation of a line is

y = mx + c

where m = slope and c = y-intercept

Comparing this general equation with the given equation gives

m = 5/3 and c = -100/3

y is the dependent variable and x the independent variable so

y = f(x) = (5/3)x - 100/3
