Well, if you solve the equation for "y", you have "y" as a function of "x". Or you can do it the other way round; solve for "x", to get "x" as a function of "y" (the first option is more commonly used, though).
Let's assume (for simplicity) that "y" is a function of "x". That means that for every value of "x", there is a unique value of "y". In this case, if the equation can be solved for "y", it is a function. Some equations are difficult or impossible to solve explicitly for "y"; in this case, "y" may still be a function of "x", if for every value of "x" only a single value of "y" is possible for the equation. However, if this is the case, it may be difficult to verify.
Set x = 0 and solve the resulting equation in y for the y-intercept. Set y = 0 and solve the resulting equation in x for the x-intercept.
Solve for what? Do you want to rearrange the equation for y to be a function of x? y = 70 - 4x Do you want to rearrange it as a function of y? x = (70 - y) / 4 You'll need to be more specific in exactly what you want done.
You solve the two equations simultaneously. There are several ways to do it; one method is to solve the first equation for "x", then replace that in the second equation. This will give you a value for "y". After solving for "y", replace that in any of the two original equations, and solve the remaining equation for "x".You solve the two equations simultaneously.
