The correct answer is option 2;

Not a function.

A relation can only be a function when every single x values have exactly one corresponding y value.

Observe that along the x-axis, two of the points are shown with the ordered pairs;


(-2,0),(6,0)

This means, when x is negative 2, y is 0. Also when x is 6, y is 0.

For this reason, the graph is not a function. The values of y = 0 has two different x values
