Question

Which of the following best describes the graph above?

A.
neither a relation nor a function
B.
function only
C.
relation only
D.
both a relation and a function

Answer 1

Option C

Explanation:

To test a graph whether it represents a function or relation we conduct a vertical line graph.

If the vertical line intersect the graph at two different points, graph represents a relation only.

By analyzing the given graph with the vertical line test,

Since, a vertical line (x = -4) intersect the graph at two points (y = -1 and y = 5),

Given graph represents a relation only.

Option C is the answer.
