Short Answer

Graph $y = - 1$ and $x = 4$ . Tell whether each equation is a surface.

The equation $y = - 1$ is a function, while $x = 4$ is not a function.

Step 1. Given Information

The given equations are $y = - 1$ , and $x = 4$ .

Step 2. Graph the first equation.

Upon graphing $y = - 1$ , we will get our required graph as shown below:

We can see that no vertical line will intersect the graph of $y = - 1$ more than one place, therefore, $y = - 1$ is a function.

Step 3. Graph the second equation.

Upon graphing $x = 4$ , we will get our required graph as shown below:

We can see that the graph of line $x = 4$ is a vertical line, so one value of x corresponds to infinitely many y-values. Therefore, the equation $x = 4$ is not a function.

Step 4. Conclusion.

The first equation $y = - 1$ is a function and the second equation $x = 4$ is not a function.
