Because for each x-value in the domain of this relationship, except for 0, there is more than one y-value, this is NOT a function.

Hello!

This relation is not a function. Each input (domain or x value) must have only one output (range or y value). If you look at some of the x values, there are two points where  the relation will intersect the x value. 

For example, on this question (points aren't exact, this is just from perspective) there are points (1,1) and (1,-1). As you can see, this one has two outputs, so it is not a function.

A good way to test to see if a relation is a function is the "vertical line test". You draw (or imagine just to be a quick) a vertical line down towards the graphed relation. This vertical line can only intersect with the graphed relation ONCE. If it intersects with two parts of the relation, it is not a function.

In this scenario, if you drew a vertical line down at x=5, it would intersect with the relation at about 2 and negative 2. Since it intersected twice with the graphed relation, it is not a function.

I hope this helps!

When solving negative one over eight (x + 35) = −7, what is the correct sequence of operations?
Maksim231197 [3]
<span>The answer is:  [C]:  
__________________________________________________________
Multiply each side by −8, subtract 35 from each side.

___________________________________________________________
Explanation:
___________________________
Given: You have (-1/8)*(x + 35) = -7
________________________________________
Note that all the answer choices given start with: "Multiply each side by...."; 
</span>____________________
Given the choices, multiplying EACH SIDE of the equation by "(-8)" would make sense, since doing would cancel the "(-1/8)" on the "right-hand side" of the equation above to a "1" (i.e "cancel out" that ("-1/8") value); and would result in making the "right side" of the equation above ("-7") a positive integer number. 
 Then you would be left with:  x + 35 = 56 ; so the next step would be to:
__________
Subtract: "(35)" from each side of the question [hence the answer choice] to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "x".
