A one-to-one graph must pass both the horizontal and the vertical line test. That means that no x-value can have two y-values and no y-value can have two x-values. An example of a one-to-one function is a line. Things like parabolas and the graph of an absolute function cannot be one-to-one.

What is a type of function whose graph is a nonvertical line?
A monotonic, or one-to-one function.
Which statement is a correct interpretation of the vertical line test?
A-If there exists a vertical line that intersects the graph at exactly one point, the graph represents a function.B-If there exists a vertical line that intersects the graph at exactly one point, the graph does not represent a function. C-If there exists a vertical line that intersects the graph at more than one point, the graph represents a function.-DIf there exists a vertical line that intersects the graph at more than one point, the graph does not represent a function
What does a function on a graph look like?
A function is just a fancy name for a math problem. It could be a straight line or it could be a parabola or even some thing else. The key to knowing what it looks like is the leading coefficient. What is the highest power of x? Is it positive or negative? An x with the power of one will be a straight line at an angle.
Can a one to one function not be a function?
"y = f(x) is a function if it passes the vertical line test. It is a 1-1 function if it passes both the vertical line test and the horizontal line test. " - In order to be a one-to-one function, it first has to BE a function and pass the vertical line test. For example, a relation on a graph like a circle that does not pass the vertical line test is not function nor one-to-one.
How can you tell by looking at a graph if the represntation is a function?
if a certain abscissa corresponds to more than one ordinate, then it is not a function.
