Answer: Kaia is not correct

Step-by-step explanation: A function works as long as there is only one 'output' for every 'input', or for every x value, only one y value works. (There can be multiple x values for any y value). If you do the verticle line test on this graph, the line won't pass through two points at the same time anywhere. Therefore, Kaia is incorrect.
