What does the Vertical Line Test determine?

• If a graph represents a function

• If a graph is linear

• If a graph is quadratic

• If a graph is symmetrical

What happens if a vertical line intersects a graph at more than one point?

• The graph is quadratic

• The graph is symmetrical

• The graph is linear

• The graph does not represent a function

What is an example of a linear function?

• y = x + 1

• y = x^2

• y = x^3

• y = 1/x
