What is the vertical line test?

Back

The vertical line test is a method to determine if a graph represents a function; if a vertical line crosses the graph more than once, it is not a function.

What does it mean if a set of ordered pairs is not a function?

Back

If a set of ordered pairs is not a function, it means at least one input is associated with more than one output.
