Question

consider the function represented by the equation x-y-4=0. what is the equation written in a function notation, with x the independent variable?

Answer 1

If x is the independent variable then y is the dependent variable so it would be y=something
you take x-y-4=0 and make it so that y is alone on one side
x-y-4=0
Add four to both sides
x-y=4
subtract x
-y=-x+4
divide by -1 and get your answer
y=x-4

Answer 2

The equation written in a function notation, with x the independent variable is
`y=x-4`.

Explanation:

Consider the provided function represented by the equation x - y - 4 = 0

Now convert the provided equation with x the independent variable.

`x-y-4=0`

Add both side by y.

`x-y-4+y=0+y`

`x-4=y`

The above equation can be written as:

`y=x-4`

Now the value of y is deeding on the value of x. Where the value of x is independent variable.

Hence, the equation written in a function notation, with x the independent variable is
`y=x-4`.
