Does this graph show a function? Explain how you know.

C

Step-by-step explanation:

It passes the vertical line test

the vertical line test is taking a vertical line and putting it anywhere on the graph, and if it passes 2 points, it fails, and since if you put the line anywhere, it only passes one point of the parabala, so it passes the line test

for ex: the reciprocal of 3/4 is 4/3. it is the opposite.

reciprocal definition:

a mathematical expression or function so related to another that their product is one; the quantity obtained by dividing the number one by a given quantity.

step-by-step explanation:

to find if any function is an inverse of the other, put the first equation in as x in the next one. then simplify and solve. if at the end you get the statement y = x, then it is an inverse. if you get anything else, it is not.
