Question

While performing a vertical line test on a graph, you notice that the graph intercepts the vertical line twice. Which of the following correctly interprets the result of the test? (1 point) Because the vertical line intercepted the graph exactly twice, the graph is of a function. Because the vertical line intercepted the graph more than once, the graph is of a relation, but it is not a function. Because the vertical line did intercept the graph exactly twice, the graph is a function and a relation. Because the vertical line intercepted the graph more than once, the graph is of a function, but it is not a relation.

Answer 1

The correct option is;

Because the vertical line intercept the the graph more than once, the graph is of a relation but it is not a function

Explanation:

A function is a kind of relation that maps a given set of inputs unto a set of outputs such that each of the values of the input can be linked to only one value of the output, such that the input and outputs form a set of ordered pairs

Therefore, a relation which maps a given input to more than one output is not a function, as such, given that the line intercepts the vertical line twice, then for a given value of x, which is the input, there are more than one value of y, which is the output, as such the relation is not a function.
