Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To determine if y is a function of x, we need to check if for each value of x there is only one corresponding value of y. We can rearrange the given equation to solve for y: 3x - 5y = 4 -> -5y = -3x + 4 -> y = (3/5)x - (4/5). This shows that for each value of x, there is only one corresponding value of y, so y is a function of x.
