Answer:

Explanation:

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation

No because it fails the vertical line test. Anytime a choice contains the phrase vertical line test, you give that phrase first consideration. In this case all x values have two y values, and that is the definition of failing the vertical line test.

The answer is B

A: See the explanation for B

C: See the explanation for B. The vertical line test fails.

D: If the two lines meet at an angle greater than 90 degrees and the base line is horizontal then the "function" would pass the vertical line test. The segments do not have to be straight. B is still the answer however.
