VERTICAL LINE TEST GRAPHS can represent functions. The ____________________ ___________ __________ can help you test whether or not a graph is a function. Remember: There can only be ONE y value for each x value. If you run your pencil across two points vertically above one another, it is NOT a function! Determine which graphs are functions Can the graph of a function be a horizontal line? A vertical line? Explain why or why not. VERTICAL LINE TEST
