I think its either b or c

explain

What is your answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it isn't a because a linear function is a straight line

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is one to one because for every x input there is only one y output

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is B. Every x coordinate has one and only y coordinate value to it. :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so that cancels d

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B? Try to draw a horizontal line in the graph and see if it passes two or more points. if it does, then it is not a one-to-one function

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how to know if it's a function? draw a vertical line in the graph and see if it only passes one point.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

remember that a function can also be one-to-one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and a linear function is just a straight/diagonal line
