You can use the vertical line test to determine if the graph is a function.
A function must: for every x value have only one y value.
Vertical line test: if you draw a bunch of vertical lines each line only touches the graph once.
So a circle would not be a function, or a horizontally facing parabola, etc... Remember, if you draw a vertical line "|" and it touches the graph more than once at any point then it is not a function.
Now take a look at the graph in the question.
In this graph if we do the vertical line test there are no place where a vertical line touches the graph twice so this graph is indeed a function.
This means your answer is C. Yes
OOH, that's tricky--- give a shot first though!
Answer:
y = 45 / 2x + 50
Step-by-step explanation:
The best equation for the line of the best fit would be y = 45 / 2x + 50.
The slope would be 45 / 2 and the y-intercept would be ( 0 , 50 ).
I used the points, ( 0 , 50 ) and ( 4 , 140 ) to get the equation, slope, and the y-intercept.
I used those points because they were the most accurate ones that I know for now.
Also, remember the formula is, "y = mx + b."
