How do you determine if a relation represents a function?

If the function is a straight line equation that passes through the graph once, then that's a function, anything on a graph is a relation!


Which of these data sets represents a function?

Does the graph above show a relation, a function, both a relation and a function, or neither a relation nor a function?


When is a relation considered to be function?

A relation is a function when an x value only has one y value associated with it. An easy way to tell this is to graph the relation, then draw a vertical line through it. If, at any point, it touches the graph twice, the relation isn't a function.


When can you say that the graph is function or mere relation?

If a vertical line intersects the graph at more than one point then it is not a function.


If no vertical line intersects the graph of a relation in more than one point then the relation is a function?

True.


When is a relation also a function?

A relation is also a function if each member of the domain (or x-coordinate) is paired with only one member of the range (or y-coordinate). If the relation is a set of ordered pairs that consists of real numbers a graph can be created to visualize the relation. If a vertical line can be drawn and only crosses or intersects the graph at one point then the relation is also a function.


The output of a function or relation The set of y-values that a graph is defined on?

Range


How do you draw a graph of a relation that is not a function?

A graph that is not a function, fails the vertical line test. You can draw it by connected all ordered pair of points in a rectangular coordinate system.


How does you know that relation is a function?

One way is to try the vertical line test on a graph!


Is the relation a function y equals 3x-4?

If a vertical line drawn through a graph crosses it only once the relation is a function?

true


How will you determine if a graph is a function or a mere relation?

You use the "vertical line test". If anywhere you can draw a vertical line that goes through two points of the graph, the relation is not a function; otherwise, it is a function. This is just another way of saying that in a function for every x value (input) there is AT MOST one y value (output).
