Yes, you can consider it a relation between the points on the x-axis, and the points on the y-axis. In fact, ANY subset of R squared (in other words, any subset of the points on a plane), including the empty set, sets that contain single points, and larger sets, can be considered a relation in R squared (i.e., two sets of real numbers).
Yes it is, but it is not a function.
A vertical line. Remember that one test to see if a relation is a function is the vertical line test. A vertical line would fail that of course.
True
a vertical line
True.
Vertical
a line that goes up and down
Yes, relations can pass the vertical line test if they are functions. The vertical line test states that if a vertical line intersects a graph at more than one point, the relation represented by the graph is not a function. Therefore, for a relation to pass the vertical line test, each input (or x-value) must correspond to exactly one output (or y-value). If it meets this criterion, it can be classified as a function.
False
One way is to try the vertical line test on a graph!
To determine if a relation is a function, you can use the "vertical line test." If any vertical line drawn on the graph of the relation intersects the graph at more than one point, then the relation is not a function. Additionally, in a set of ordered pairs, a relation is a function if each input (or x-value) corresponds to exactly one output (or y-value).
Three vertical lines, |, with a diagonal line across them.
