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?

A
No, because using the y -axis tests only whether x is equal to 0 is mapped to multiple values.
B
Yes, because multiple y -intercepts represent multiple x -values being mapped to y is equal to 0 .
C
Yes, because the y -axis represents all vertical lines of the x -values.
D
No, because the y -axis is a horizontal line.

If f of x is an even function and open paren 6 comma 8 close paren is one the points on the graph of f of x , which reason explains why open paren negative 6 comma 8 close paren must also be a point on the graph?

A
The graph has rotational symmetry, so the point will be reflected across the y -axis.
B
Since the function is even, the outputs of a negative x -value and a positive x -value are the same.
C
The graph has rotational symmetry, so the point will be rotated 90 degrees about the origin.
D
Since the function is even, the outputs of a negative y -value and a positive y -value are the same.
