2. determine if either of the following equations are functions? draw the graphs and explain how
you determined if they are or are not functions.
a. y =-(3/5)x + 2
b. y = x - x^2
(you cannot use -2,-1, 1, and 2 in place of x)

Both equation represent functions

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is the relation that for each input, there is only one output.

A. Consider the equation

This equation represents the function, because for each input value x, there is exactly one output value y.

To check whether the equation represents a function, you can use vertical line test. If all vertical lines intersect the graph of the function in one point, then the equation represents the function.

When you intersect the graph of the function with vertical lines, there will be only one point of intersection (see blue graph in attached diagram). So this equation represents the function.

B. Consider the equation

This equation represents the function, because for each input value x, there is exactly one output value y.

When you intersect the graph of the function with vertical lines, there will be only one point of intersection (see green graph in attached diagram). So this equation represents the function.
