What is the Vertical Line Test?

Back

The Vertical Line Test is a method used to determine if a graph represents a function. If a vertical line intersects the graph at more than one point, it is not a function.

What does it mean if a relation is not a function?

Back

A relation is not a function if at least one x-value is paired with more than one y-value.
