Answer: Yes

Explanation:

To solve this, imagine you have a vertical line. You can use a ruler or something straight. Move the ruler across the screen. Does the ruler intersect 2 points at once? If so, then it is not a function. If it only intersects one point, then it is a function.

Always remember: a function cannot have two x's with different y-values.

Hope that helped!
