Answer:

y = - 3^2 + 10 is not a function

Explanation:

y = - 3^2 + 10 is not a function. There is no second unknown, such as x. -3^2 + 10 = 9 + 10 = 19

y = - 3^2 + 10 is simply another way of saying that y = 19. The value of y won't change as a function of x. He (x) isn't to be found anywhere, so y is simply 19. Period. Nothing interesting. Not a fancy function.

Sorry, y.
