Question

Does this graph represent a function? Why or why not?

Answer 1

Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation: For a function, each x-coordinate corresponds to exactly one y-coordinate.

To determine whether the graph shown here

is a function, we can use the vertical line test.

The vertical line test tells us that if each x-coordinate on the graph corresponds to exactly one y-coordinate, then any vertical line that we draw on the graph should hit the graph at only one point.

For the graph show here, any vertical line that you draw with hit the graph at only one point which means it does pass the vertical line test.

So this graph is a function.
