Does this curved graph show a function explain how you know

No; the graph fails the vertical line test.

The vertical line test is a tool used to determine if we have a function. If we can draw a single straight vertical line through more than one point on the red curve, then the graph is said to have failed the vertical line test. Consequently, this leads to the relation not being a function.

For this circle graph, we can draw a vertical line through more than one point, which is why we don't have a function here.

Put another way, there are inputs (x) that produce more than one output (y), so that's why we don't have a function.

there are no correct statementd on the list of choices you provided.

  distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.

explanation:

the instantaneous velocity = change in position/time taken

the slope of the graph should give instantaneous velocity.

  slope of a graph = change in value of y -axis / change in values of x -axis

  comparing both the equations

    change in value of y -axis = change in position

  change in values of x -axis = time taken

so position values should be on the y axis and time values should be on the x axis.

distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.
