Answer:
yes
Step-by-step explanation:
The point is on the line.
The coordinate values satisfy the equation:
1/3x + y = 12
1/3(3) + 11 = 12 . . . substitute for x and y
1 + 11 = 12 . . . . . . . true
Any point that satisfies the equation is a solution. (3, 11) is a solution.
Yes it is a function. It is a horizontal line.
Every point on this line is of the form (x,4) where x can be any number you want. The y coordinate is fixed at 4 and cannot change. Two points on this line are (0,4) and (1,4). The horizontal line goes through 4 on the vertical y axis.
Why is it a function? Because it is impossible to draw a vertical line through more than one point on the graph of y = 4. The graph passes the vertical line test. Put another way, for any x input, there is exactly one y output.
Side Note: y = 4 is the same as y = 0x+4. Note how its in the form y = mx+b
m = 0 is the slope
b = 4 is the y intercept
Value of 3 is in the solution set
