Question

For questions 1-3, decide for each graph whether the equation shown is a function. Label each graph

Answer 1

Answer:  Not a function

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph fails the vertical line test.  In other words, when you draw a vertical line anywhere through the curve, the line passes through two points.

Bonus: If you do not have a graph, it is not a function if there is one x-value that has two different y-values.

For example, If (1, 2) and (1, -2) lie on the curve, then it is NOT a function because the x-value (1) has two different y-values (2 & -2).
