If this is a list of statements in a programming language that is processed sequentially, y is assigned the value 9+1 = 10. There is no further assignment to y, even after the value of x is changed. So, the final value of y is 10.

<em>Additional comment</em>
Some programming languages do their processing in parallel, so that the definition of y would be updated when the value of x gets updated. In that case, the value of y would be changed to 5+1 = 6. Since this is not a choice, the problem is apparently supposed to be interpreted as above.
