Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Understand the definition of a function.

    A graph represents a function if it passes the vertical line test. This means that any vertical line drawn through the graph intersects the graph at most once. If a vertical line intersects the graph at two or more points, then the graph does not represent a function.

  2. Apply the vertical line test to Graph 1.

    Graph 1 shows a diamond shape.
    Consider the vertical line x=0x=0 (the y-axis). This line passes through the points (0,1)(0, 1) and (0,−1)(0, -1) on the graph.
    Since the vertical line x=0x=0 intersects the graph at two different points, Graph 1 fails the vertical line test.

  3. Conclude whether Graph 1 is a function.

    Because Graph 1 fails the vertical line test, it does not represent a function.

    Therefore, the box for Graph 1 should not be checked.
    Graph 1 is not a function.
