Answer:
Yes, each x-value has a unique y-value.
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a function because each x-value has its own y-value. If this is not the case then it is not a function, because then, two points with the same x-value and different y-values would fail the VLT.
Your graph does not have overlaps and each x-value has a unique y-value
VLT
The vertical line test (VLT) is a simple method that mathematicians made because they were lazy to make a table of values and find duplicates.
- Passing the VLT means that if you drew a vertical line anywhere on the graph, it would only go through one point.
- Failing the VLT would mean that the vertical line
A quick way to check if it is a function is by looking for duplicates of x-values and check that the duplicates have the same y-value.
