Identify if the graph is a function or not

Algebra I: Identify if the graph is a function or not

This is a free lesson from our course in Algebra I

In this lesson you'll learn how to determine if a graph is a function or not. You'll also learn about the Vertical Line test, which is used to determine whether a relation is a function or not. In this test, if you can draw a vertical line on the graph of a relation such that it intersects the graph at more than one points, then the relation is not a function, otherwise it is a function.E.g. Determine whether the relation represented in the graph is a function. Identify the domain and range, if it is a function.

Determine domain and range from a finite set of ordered pairs

	(Continued from above) Solution: � a relation is a function if every input has exactly one output. � in the plot, for each x-coordinate, there is only one y-coordinate. � so, the relation is a function. � the domain is 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6 and the range is 2, 3, 4, 6 and 7. [The x-coordinates of the points are the domain and the y- coordinates are the range.]

	As many of you know, Winpossible's online courses use a unique teaching method where an instructor explains the concepts in any given area to you in his/her own voice and handwriting, just like you see your teacher explain things to you on a blackboard in your classroom. This particular lesson includes the teacher's instruction, practice questions as well as end-of-lesson quizzes for practice.
