Does the Graphed Relation Define a Function?

Use the vertical line test to determine whether or not a graph represents a function. If a vertical line is moved across the graph and, at any time, touches the graph at only one point, then the graph is a function. If the vertical line touches the graph at more than one point, then the graph is not a function.

Which graphed relation represents a function?

The vertical line test can be used to determine whether a graph represents a function. A vertical line includes all points with a particular x value. The y value of a point where a vertical line intersects a graph represents an output for that input x value. ... A function has only one output value for each input value.
