There is a vertical line test you should use it to test if the figure is function or not

Draw a vertical line through the figure many times

If the line intersects the figure in more than 1 point, then the figure is not a function

The vertical line should intersect the graph of the function at one point only

Figure 1 is a triangle

If you draw a vertical line at any part of it

It will intersect in 2 points

So figure 1 not a function

Figure 2 is a parabola

Draw a vertical line in many parts of it

It will intersect it in only 1 point

So figure two is a function

Figure 3 represents the absolute equation

Draw a vertical line to test it

It will intersect in more than 1 point

So figure 3 is not a function

Figure 4 have different points

Draw a vertical line passing these points

Is this line passing throw more than one point?

No, so figure 4 is a function

Figure 5 represents two horizontal segment

If we draw a vertical line it will cut each line in one point but cut the graph in all in two points

So figure 5 is not a function

In figure 6 there are some points

two of them
