Is the piecewise graph a function? Check using the vertical line test.
A graph of a function on a coordinate plane. The graph consists of two parts: a line segment that starts at the point (-10, 0) and extends to the point (-3, 5), and a curve that starts at the point (-2, -6) and extends upward through the point (2, 0) and continues to the point (5, 10). The x-axis ranges from -10 to 10, and the y-axis ranges from -10 to 10.
a.
Yes, the piecewise graph is a function because it passes the veritcal line test.
b.
No, the piecewise graph is NOT a function because it passes the vertical line test.
c.
Yes, the piecewise graph is a function because it does NOT pass the vertical line test.
d.
No, the piecewise graph is NOT a function because it does NOT pass the vertical line test.
