Graphs of Functions and Non-Functions

Look at the graph.

Is this relation a function?

• Yes

• No

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

• No, because there are not enough dots to tell

• Yes because the dots are all  red

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.
