Question

determine whether the graph is the graph of a function.
6)
coordinate plane with x-axis from -10 to 10, y-axis from -10 to 10, a curved shape (likely an ellipse or circle) near the origin

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the vertical line test

A graph represents a function if and only if no vertical line intersects the graph at more than one point.

Step2: Analyze the given graph

The given graph is a curve (looks like a horizontal ellipse or a closed curve) centered near the origin. If we draw a vertical line (for example, the y - axis or any vertical line that passes through the curve), it will intersect the curve at two points. This violates the vertical line test.

Answer:

The graph is not the graph of a function.
