• Graph 2
• Graph 3
• Graph 4

Is the relation a function? Why.

• Yes, because the x-value 11 has two y-values pair with it.
• Yes, because each x-value has only one y-value paired with it.
• No, because the x-value 11 has two y-values pair with it.
• No, because each x-value has only one y-value paired with it.

Does the graph represent a function? Does it pass the vertical line test?

• Yes, because the vertical line test shows there are no repeating input values

• No, because the vertical line test shows there are repeating input values that have different outputs.

• No, because there are not enough dots to tell

• Yes because the dots are all red

Does the mapping represent a function?

• It does represent a function because each input has one output.

• It does represent a function because each output has one input.

• It does not represent a function because an input has more than one output.
