When using the vertical line test the vertical line can only go through the graph times for it to be a function.

once

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertical line test shows how many outputs (y-value) there are for one input (x-value). There can only one output for each input because only one value should satisfy an equation that represents a function. If the vertical line  goes through the graph twice, that shows there are two outputs for a single x-value. This would mean it is not a function.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given

since, we have to isolate x on anyone side

so, we can move all x terms on one side

subtract both sides by 2x

add both sides by 9

divide both sides by 4

we get

you could deduce the conclusion directly using the facts pertaining to the specific situation.

hope this .
