Jamal. from Empire? :o lol

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

lol

OpenStudy (jp777):

A function has a line that is straight and goes in one direction.

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

the only line is the diagonal one

OpenStudy (jp777):

its not C or D

OpenStudy (jp777):

Its A.

OpenStudy (sachintha):

As I remember a function can only have one to one and one to many relationships. What I meant is one \(y\) value can have one or two \(x\) values but not the other way around. :3

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

So it's confirmed A?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

A function has a graph that it intersects any vertical line in only one point. To see if a relation is a function using its graph, do the "vertical line test." Imagine a vertical line drawn on the left side of the graph. Now imagine this line moving to the right. If the vertical line ever intersects more than one point, then the relation is not a function. If the vertical line intersects at most one point, then the relation is a function.

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

so it only crosses once

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

yes?

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

intersects*

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

|dw:1476986771930:dw|

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Notice that with option A, any position you put the vertical line in, there is only one point of intersection of the vertical line and the graph of the relation, so this relation is a function.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Now try options B, C, and D.

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

b theres 2 places that it intercepts
