A relation is a Function if and only if every input (x) maps to exactly ONE output (y).
Move the slider to test the boundary points of these relations. Watch the Vertical Line Test on the graph!

Vertical Line Test

Rule 1:
Rule 2: 3x
* If the vertical dashed line intersects two DIFFERENT points at the same time, it is not a function.
