A function is not a function if it passes through the vertical line test more than once, and it is not linear or a quadratic.
They are not. A vertical line is not a function so all linear equations are not functions. And all functions are not linear equations.
The linear equation x=5 or any other number is a vertical line. There are more than one possible answer for y. Therefore it is not a function.
A function is not a function if it passes through the vertical line test more than once, and it is not linear or a quadratic.
The equation x=c where c is a constant is the equation of a vertical line. It can't be a function but it is linear so the answer is no. For example, the vertical line produced by the linear equation x = 3 does not represent a function. We cannot write this equation so that y is a function of x because the only x-value is 3 and this "maps" to every real-number y.
