To determine if the given graph is the graph of the function y=x−1, we can compare the coordinates of the points on the graph with the coordinates we would expect for the function.

For the function y=x-1, if we plug in x=-2, we should get y=-3. However, on the graph, the point (-2,-3) is not on the wavy vertical line.

Similarly, if we plug in x=-1, we should get y=-2. However, the point (-1,-2) is not on the wavy vertical line on the graph.

If we plug in x=0, we should get y=-1. The point (0,-1) is also not on the wavy vertical line.

Finally, if we plug in x=1, we should get y=0. However, the point (1,6) is on the wavy vertical line, which is not the value we would expect based on the function.

Therefore, based on the points plotted on the graph, we can conclude that the given graph is not the graph of the function y=x-1.

Thus, the answer is 2 (no).
