Which statement could be used to explain why the function h of x is equal to x cubed has an inverse relation that is also a function?

A function has an inverse relation that is also a function when the original function is one-to-one. The horizontal line test checks whether each horizontal line intersects the graph at most once. Since h(x) = x³ passes that test, its inverse relation is a function. The correct statement is that the graph of h(x) passes the horizontal line test.
