Answer:

Yes this is a function.

Explanation:

This graph is a function because it passes the vertical line test. The vertical line test ensures that no x value has more than one y value. You can take a pencil, hold it vertically, and move it horizontally across your paper to test whether or not the graph contains multiple y values for a single x value. If it passes this test, then the graph is indeed a function.
