Is this a Function?

Why is it a Function?? There are a lot of ways you can tell if a function….. 1.If your x values don’t repeat then it’s a function. 2.If it passes the vertical line test then it’s a function.

Continuous or Discrete? My problem is discrete because you cannot have a half of a person.
