Solving One-Variable Equations with Systems — Unit test
Question 9 • [INMT3] Integrated Math 3 Sem 1 (26-27)
To determine whether a graph of a relation is also a function, Shayla declares that the y-axis is a vertical line and counts the number of times that the graph intersects the y-axis. If the graph has exactly one y-intercept, Shayla concludes that the graph shows a function. In all other cases, she declares that it is not a function. Is Shayla applying the vertical line test correctly?
Answer
A
No, because the y-axis is a horizontal line.
B
No, because using the y-axis tests only whether x = 0 is mapped to multiple values.
C
Yes, because multiple y-intercepts represent multiple x-values being mapped to y = 0.
D
Yes, because the y-axis represents all vertical lines of the x-values.
