Can someone help me with this 1 question Use the vertical line test to determine whether the relations is a function A:yes B:no C:cannot be determined (I think it's A or C maybe C perhaps....can someone help me)

Nnesha (nnesha):

draw a vertical on a graph if the line touches the graph more than onc then that's not a function.

Nnesha (nnesha):

vertical line *

OpenStudy (cookiemonster18):

okay ill try to draw a vertical line on the graph

Nnesha (nnesha):

nice , if the line intersect a dot more than once at the same point then it's not a function that means x values are repeating if its intersect only one dot then points represent a functioin

Nnesha (nnesha):

that's not a vertical line

Nnesha (nnesha):

|dw:1445117793735:dw| these lines are vertical lines

Nnesha (nnesha):

make sense ??

OpenStudy (cookiemonster18):

no.

OpenStudy (cookiemonster18):

is the correct answer C since none of the dots touch the line

Nnesha (nnesha):

here is an example draw a vertical on the graph let' ssay my graph is |dw:1445118354186:dw| you can draw vertical line anywhere on the graph

Nnesha (nnesha):

this is how u should draw lines http://prntscr.com/8seimn

Nnesha (nnesha):

is there any point where line intersect dots more than once ??

Nnesha (nnesha):

here is an example |dw:1445118911861:dw| same vertical line intersect dot more than once so that's not a function
