Answer

$y$ is a function of $x$.

Work Step by Step

Solve for $y$ by adding $-x^2$ on both sides of the equation to obtain $y=-x^2+25$. Note that when you assign any real number value to $x$, the equation will give only one value of $y$. Thus, the given equation represents $y$ as a function of $x$.
