In order to answer this question, you need to know about the Vertical Line Test. The Vertical Line Test is a test for functions. If you take your pencil and draw a straight line through any part of the graph, and the pencil hits the graph more than once, the graph is not a function.

In this case, since the vertical line hit the graph more than once, the graph does not represent a function.

Answer: the relationship is not a function
