Write as a Function of x x=-5y

$x = - 5 y$

Rewrite the equation as $- 5 y = x$ .

$- 5 y = x$

Divide each term in $- 5 y = x$ by $- 5$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $- 5 y = x$ by $- 5$ .

$\frac{- 5 y}{- 5} = \frac{x}{- 5}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $- 5$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{- 5 y}{- 5} = \frac{x}{- 5}$

Divide $y$ by $1$ .

$y = \frac{x}{- 5}$

Simplify the right side.

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$y = - \frac{x}{5}$

To rewrite as a function of $x$ , write the equation so that $y$ is by itself on one side of the equal sign and an expression involving only $x$ is on the other side.

$f (x) = - \frac{x}{5}$
