Use the vertical line test to determine if y is

Question

a function of x in the graph.

Which of the following statements is correct? Choose the correct answer below.
answers:
y is a function of x
y is not a function of x

Answer 1

To determine if \( y \) is a function of \( x \) using the vertical line test, you can visualize or imagine drawing vertical lines across the graph. If a vertical line crosses the graph at more than one point, then \( y \) is not a function of \( x \). If every vertical line crosses the graph at most once, then \( y \) is a function of \( x \).

Since I do not have access to a visual representation of the graph you are referring to, I cannot definitively determine the answer based on the information provided.

To summarize:

• If every vertical line intersects the graph at most once, then the correct statement is: y is a function of x.
• If any vertical line intersects the graph at more than one point, then the correct statement is: y is not a function of x.

Please apply the vertical line test on the graph you have to choose the correct statement.
