A function is a relation in which any value inputted in the relation yields exactly one output. x+3=y

x=1; y=4. 1 will not give any result other than 4. Graphically, a function is a graph where each x-coordinate has only one y-coordinate. So you can use the vertical line test. If you place a vertical line somewhere on the graph and it crosses the graph at more than one point, it is not a function.
