Rewrite the equation -5x – 6y = -12 as a function of x.

5x + 6y = 12
5x = 12 - 6y
x = (1/5).(12 - 6y)
x = 12/5 - (6/5).y

-6y = -12 + 5x
6y = 12 - 5x
y = 2 - (5/6)x

-5x - 6y = -12
-5x = -12 + 6y
x = 12/5 - 6y/5
Remember to watch your signs.

-5x-6y= -12
-5x= -12+6y
5x=12-6y
x= (12-6y)/5

The one where y = stuff is correct. "A function of x" means that the variable not x (like y) is by itself.
