Answer is
* the graph on the left is NOT a function, it does not pass the vertical line test.
* The graph on the right IS a function, it passes the vertical line test and it has only one x value for every y value.

Reason - with a graph you can use the vertical line test without knowing any of the coordinates. See the attachment. If a vertical line touches two or more lines it is not a function.
