Use algebraic means to show that x^2 + y^2 = 8 is not a function. Explain your process.

For a single value of x function has more than one corresponding value of y which satisfies the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Function: A relationship between a set of inputs and a set of possible outputs, where exactly one output is associated with each input.

It means for an equation to represent a function any single value of  x there should be only one corresponding value of  y which satisfies the equation.

Now consider the given equation.

If we put x=0 then we get two value of y i.e and which satisfy the equation  and therefore the equation is not a function.

c. y = 1/4 x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

first, put the equation of the line on the graph into slope-intercept form

(y = mx + b):   y = -4x + 8

second, a perpendicular line has to have "an opposite/reciprocal slope" to the original slope. so, find the "m" value in your original equation (it's -4, right? )

original slope: m = -4   perpendicular slope: change the sign to its opposite and find the reciprocal ("flip" the number)

new slope is now positive (b/c the original slope was negative 4), and it's 1/4 (not the original slope of 4 or 4/1)
