The spelling rule is: when the word has a vowel (a, e, i, o, u) before the letter ‘y’, you add the letter ‘s’ and when the word has a consonant (b, c, d, f, g, h, j, k, l, m, n, p, q, r, s, t, v, w, x, y, z) before the letter ‘y’, you remove the ‘y’ and replace it with ‘ies’.

There is no specific rule. y = -sqrt(x) y = x - 12 y = -x/3 y = x2 - 84 are all possible.
What is an explicit rule?
An explicit rule is a rule that you can solve without needing the previous term. For example to find the value of y, you don't need to know what x is. y = 4 + 4 vs. y = 2x + 4
What is the rule for y equals and x?
y=m(x)+b
Is adding integers and subtracting integers are the same?
