Determine whether the graph is the graph of a function. yes no n/a Explain to me please

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Take a vertical line (like a ruler or a book)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

and drag it through the entire graph

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Are there any points where this vertical line cuts through the graph more than once?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no. so it's yes

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you are correct, it is indeed a function since it passes the vertical line test

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

If there were any x values that produced more than one y value (which would make it fail the vertical line test), then it wouldn't be a function

thanks
