How can you tell if a graph show a FUNCTION?
By doing a vertical line test. If you can draw a vertical line and it only passes through the graph once, its a function. If it passes through twice, it is NOT a function.
Can a parabola represent a function?
If a vertical line passes through the supposed function at only one spot then you have a function.
How can you tell if a graph that represents the relationship is a function?
The vertical line test! Imagine a vertical line going through all points of the graph. As long as the vertical line only touches the graphed line once, it's a function. If it touches more than once, it is not.
What do you call a function whose graph is a non-vertical line?
It is a function. If the graph contains at least two points on the same vertical line, then it is not a function. This is called the vertical line test.
A function will always be a vertical line?
A function can never be a vertical line, because it then fails the definition of a function: every x value outputs only 1 y value. The vertical line test will determine if a relation is a function. If a vertical line intersects the graph of the function at more than one place, it is not a function.
