Question

Is “x = -3” a function

Answer 1

No

Explanation:

x = -3 is a vertical line at x= -3

Tow points on the line are

(-3,1) and (-3,2)

This means one x value goes to 2 different y values so it is not a function

Answer 2

Answer: No

Step-by-step explanation: The line x = -3 is a vertical or straight up and down line that is parallel to the y-axis. On the vertical line x = -3, when x = -3, y can be 0, 1, 2, -5, or any other number, there are in infinite number of possibilities.

The technical definition of a function is written as "a relation in which each element in the domain is paired with one and only one element in the range."
