C is a one-to-one function
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Determine if the graph represents a function
To determine if the graph represents a function, we use the vertical line test. If any vertical line intersects the graph at more than one point, then the graph does not represent a function.
Step 2: Apply the vertical line test
By visually inspecting the graph, we can see that there are vertical lines that intersect the graph at more than one point. For example, a vertical line at \( x = -1 \) intersects the graph at two points.
Step 3: Conclude whether it is a function
Since there are vertical lines that intersect the graph at more than one point, the graph does not represent a function.
