How do I solve this?

OpenStudy (legomyego180):

To be a function a line has to pass the vertical line test

Atsie (atsie):

Oh I forgot that it has to be drawn on a graph first.

OpenStudy (legomyego180):

Which one of these lines doesnt pass the vertical line test

Atsie (atsie):

Quite frankly, it gives the appearance that all of them don't. But wouldn't it be A? Because its going vertical and only passing through one line? @legomyego180

OpenStudy (legomyego180):

Sorry, its not easy using these things to draw Yup A. So line A is X=some number because x=any constant will always be a straight line, and therefore never be a function.

Atsie (atsie):

Ooh, so it's x only then right? @legomyego180

OpenStudy (legomyego180):

Yea, so your answer would be?

Atsie (atsie):

The first one, correct?

Atsie (atsie):

@legomyego180 :)

So you have one relation that is an "undefined" line. Therefore yes A would be your answer BECAUSE when taking a pencil and moving it vertically across your paper/graph, you will see that it covers the whole line.

Atsie (atsie):

Thanks for confirming Rebecca. ^.^ Also thank you to @legomyego180 . I appreciate it! :)

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

http://prntscr.com/b5bk4z example of relations that are NOT functions. They would hit more than one point.

OpenStudy (legomyego180):

np

Atsie (atsie):

Its just really crazy hard for me to decipher the points, but hopefully I'll learn eventually. I'm just super slow and dumb. XD @rebeccaxhawaii Btw, @legomyego180 I really like your username. It got swag all over it! :P

OpenStudy (legomyego180):

Nah, you got this. Haha thanks, I stole it from my cousin back when I was like 8

Atsie (atsie):

Kudo's to both you and your cousin! :)
