A vertical line test can be used to determine whether a graph is a function or not. If a vertical line intersects the graph more than once, then the graph is not a function.

So if a vertical line hits a graph in more than one place, it is the same as having the same x-value paired up with two different y-values, and the graph is not that of a function.
