Question

Is this or is this not a function?

Answer 1

This is not a function.

Explanation:

The questioned parallel line within the y-axis does not meet the requirements to be a function. The line test, as the other person stated, is a test where lines are drawn over the points to determine if the graph / model is, or is not a function. Doing so in this process, if the lines touch the same point more than once, that means the graph is not a function.

Answer 2

This is not a function

Explanation:

Assuming that the line in question is parallel with the y axis, by using the line test we can see that the line is not a function. The line test is where you draw straight lines going vertically over the graph and if the lines touch the figure in question more than once that means it's not a function.

This can also be proved by imagining there are 2 different points on the line in question. Since the line is straight vertically that means that the points will share the same x value for different y values, which makes it not a function
