Which statement best illustrates using the vertical line test to determine if the graph below is a function of x?

Question illustration
A
The graph is not a function of x because the line x = 0 intersects the graph at two points.
B
The graph is a function of x because the line x = 5 does not intersect the graph.
C
The graph is not a function of x because the line y = 0 intersects the graph at two points.
D
The graph is a function of x because the line y = 5 does not intersect the graph.

Asha found that a vertical line intersects the graph of at two points. What can Asha conclude about ?

Question illustration
A
The graph passes the vertical line test and is a function.
B
The graph is not a function because it fails the vertical line test.
C
The graph shows a straight-line relationship between x and y.
D
The graph curves in a U-shape and always opens upward.

The graph below models the value of a $20,000 car t years after it was purchased. Value of CarWhich statement best describes why the value of the car is a function of the number of years since it was purchased?

Question illustration
A
Each car value, y, is associated with exactly one time, t.
B
Each time, t, is associated with exactly one car value, y.
C
The rate at which the car decreases in value is not constant.
D
There is no time, t, at which the value of the car is 0.

Which statement is a correct interpretation of the vertical line test?

A
If only one vertical line intersects the graph at exactly one point, the graph represents a function.
B
If only one vertical line intersects the graph at exactly one point, the graph does not represent a function.
C
If any vertical line can intersect the graph at more than one point, the graph represents a function.
D
If any vertical line can intersect the graph at more than one point, the graph does not represent a function.
