Answer the question.The equation y = x2 is satisfied by the points (2,4) and (-2,4). A horizontal line may be drawn between these two points. Is y = x2 a function? Why or why not?

What will be an ideal response?


It is a function because each x-value gives one and only one y-value. It passes the vertical line test.
