To determine if a relation is a function using the vertical line test, we draw vertical lines through the graph. If any vertical line intersects the graph at more than one point, then the relation is not a function.
- If the graph is a half-circle, then a vertical line drawn through the circle will intersect it at two points (except at the endpoints of the semicircle). Therefore, this relation does not pass the vertical line test.
So, the correct response would be:
No, the given relation is not a function.
