Every function is a graph. So the only thing is to distinguish functions from other graphs.
One formal convention actually define function as its graph, and a graph is the set of all ordered pairs (x, y)
A function is a special graph where it's set set of all ordered pairs (x, y) where y = f(x). f(x) is unique (or rather one goes in only one comes out), meaning for each x, there is one and only one y. (Note: For each y, there might be many x)
So to test this, we use a "vertical line test". The idea is for all x in the domain of f, say A, we draw a vertical line (x = a for some a in A), it only intersect the graph of f one and only once. Of course, there are infinity many points, you have to do it infinitly many times. Therefore, you can do it generacally:
Let A:= dom f
For all a in A, f is a function if and only if (x = a implies f(x) = f(a) and nothing else)

An equation is the same as a function. Identifying a functional relationship from a graph is nearly impossible unless it is trivially simple like a linear relationship.
The answer depends on what variables are plotted on the graph!
The Mandelbrot graph is generated iteratively and so is a function of a function of a function ... and in that sense it is a composite function.
The graph of a continuous function will not have any 'breaks' or 'gaps' in it. You can draw it without lifting your pencil or pen. The graph of a discrete function will just be a set of lines.

You can easily identify the x-intercepts of a graph of a quadratic function by writing it as two binomial factors! Source: I am in Algebra 2 Honors!

Discriminant = 116; Graph crosses the x-axis two times
No, a circle graph is never a function.

A zero of a function is a point at which the value of the function is zero. If you graph the function, it is a point at which the graph touches the x-axis.
sine graph will be formed at origine of graph and cosine graph is find on y-axise
Yes the graph of a function can be a vertical or a horizontal line
Yes the graph of a function can be a vertical or a horizontal line
If the graph of the function is a continuous line then the function is differentiable. Also if the graph suddenly make a deviation at any point then the function is not differentiable at that point . The slope of a tangent at any point of the graph gives the derivative of the function at that point.
