third one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Explain why Akshay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In order to be a function each x-value must go to a unique y-value. We call this the vertical line test. So which of your choices has different y-values for the same x-value?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The third one is not correct, akshay.

OpenStudy (akshay_budhkar):

i believe coz for x=4 and 10 i is d same value y=10... i am n ot sure.. i am messing it in sleep i believe

OpenStudy (anonymous):

different x values can have the same y value. for instance, the horizontal line y=5 has the same y value for *all* values of x...and it's a function.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The test is to make sure that a particular x-value *only* maps to a single y-value.

OpenStudy (aroub):

(-4, 2), (1, 5), (-2, 0), (1, 6)
