Given: A graph is given with some points plotted.

Required: To determine whether the graph represents a function or not.

Explanation: We can determine whether a graph represents a function or not by using the vertical line test.

Vertical Line Test- If on a graph we can draw a vertical line that intersects the curve (or points) at two or more points, then the given graph does not represent a function.

In the graph provided, we can draw a vertical line as-

The vertical line drawn intersects the points of the graph more than once. Hence, the graph does not represent a function.

Final Answer: No, the graph does not represent a function.
