Question

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

Answer 1

A Function is defined as the relation between the input and the output where one input can have only one output

When graphing functions, the x-axis denotes the inputs and the y-axis denotes the output of the function

Looking at the graph, we see that for one input (point on the x-axis) we have only one output (point on the y-axis)

Hence, we can say that this graph represents a function
