Question

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

Answer 1

The given formula above, y = -x, is a sample of a function. A function is an equation that would give only one value of y for every value of x. This is the same as saying that exactly one output is set by each input. If we take x = -1, the value of y is 1 and nothing else.
