Short Answer

Expert verified

The equation y=1 is a function.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information.

The given equation is y=1.

02

Step 2. Calculation.

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 equation y=1more than one place that is each x value corresponds to a specific y-value.

Therefore, the equation y=1 is a function.

03

Step 3. Conclusion.

The given equation is a function.
