To determine if \( y \) is a function of \( x \) in each equation, we need to assess if each equation can be solved for \( y \) in terms of \( x \): 1. The equation \(-5x + 2\) can be considered a function if we set \( y = -5x + 2\). Here, for each \( x \) there is a unique \( y \). 2. The equation \( x + 2y = 5 \) can be rearranged to find \( y \): \( 2y = 5 - x \) or \( y = \frac{5 - x}{2} \), which also gives a unique \( y \) for every \( x \). 3. The equation \( y = 2 \) is a constant function, where \( y \) is always 2 regardless of \( x \), fulfilling the criteria for a function. So, all equations can express \( y \) as a function of \( x \).
