Answer:

Yes, this graph represents a function.

Functions can have a maximum of one y-value for every x-value. On a graph, this means it passes the vertical line test.

Explanation:

The vertical line test is when a vertical line is passed though the graph. If at any point the vertical line touch more than one point on the graph, the graph is not a function. Vertical line test is also known as VLT.
