Is the relation shown in this graph a function?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

if you can draw a vertical line that goes through more than one spot of the graph then it is NOT a function

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

else it is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No a line can go into more than one spot on the line

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

can you draw such a line?

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

@AJMJackKnife that makes no sense, and please dont just give answers.....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Fine :P

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

you mean "a vertical line" and "curve" not "line" and "line"

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

:)

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

im just messin with u

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A graph isn't a function if you pass to points when you draw a vertical line. If you drew a vertical like at say, 130, you'd pass 2 points. Thus, it is not a function.

Thanks! I couldn't remember if it was a vertical or horizontal line.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You're welcome! (:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your welcome, even though i was shut down by @zzr0ck3r :P

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

this comes from the fact that a=b implies f(a) = f(b) can you see why this is NOT true if you can draw such a vertical line?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks zzr0ck3r
