Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows a coordinate plane with four quadrants. The x and y axes range from -6 to 6 in increments of 1. A semicircle is graphed on the plane. The semicircle passes through points plotted at coordinates (-5 , 0), (0 , 5), and (5 , 0).
The graph of a relation is given. Apply the vertical line test to determine if this relation is a function. Enter 1 if the relation is a function. Enter 2 if the relation is not a function.

it is a function
I apologize for the confusion. If the semicircle passes through points plotted at (-5, 0), (0, 5), and (5, 0), then it means that for each value of x (input), there is only one corresponding value of y (output). Therefore, the relation is a function. The answer is 1.
