Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation 1)A vertical line can be represented by the equation x=a, where a can be any number. If you think about it, there is no y in the function, this making it not a function.

Explanation 2) For a line to be a function it has to pass the vertical line test, so you will draw a vertical line through the function and if it touches more than one point then it is not a function. In this case if you draw a vertical line through a vertical line there are an infinite number of places where the lines intercept, so it is not a function.

Answer:

No it is not a function

Step-by-step explanation:

In mathematics, the vertical line test is a visual way to determine if a curve is a graph of a function or not. A function can only have one output, y, for each unique input, x. ... If the vertical line you drew intersects the graph more than once for any value of x then the graph is not the graph of a function.

Answer:

$9.00

Step-by-step explanation:

~~~~Hey there~~~~

1. Since it was 15% discount, that means you have to solve 15% of 60, which is equivalent to 0.15 x 60.

2. Since the product of 0.15 and 60 is 9, then 9 is your answer.

3. Your final answer is $9.00
