How can you determine if a relation is a function?
Kobotan [32]
Each input should only have 1 output. Multiple inputs can have the same output, but one input can only correspond to a single output.

Also, if you graph the relation with the input as the x coordinate and output as the y coordinate, you can then conduct a verical line test. Anywhere you draw a vertical line, you should only intersect the curve one time.
