Explain why the vertical line test is used to determine if a graph represents a function.

OpenStudy (harsimran_hs4):

a function will have a single value of y for every x so if a vertical line intersects the graph at more than 1 point then it implies than for a x there are more than one values i.e f(x) is not unique so it`s not a function
