Answer 1

I can’t see the graph in your message. To decide, use the vertical‑line test: if any vertical line intersects the graph more than once, the graph does NOT represent a function; if every vertical line meets the graph at most once, it DOES represent a function.

So the correct filled sentence will be one of these two:

- If the graph passes the vertical‑line test:
"The graph represents a function because each x‑value corresponds to exactly one y‑value."

- If the graph fails the vertical‑line test:
"The graph does not represent a function because there is an x‑value that corresponds to more than one y‑value."

If you upload or describe the graph (what shapes or points are shown), I’ll tell you which sentence applies.
