Question

Choose the correct term to complete each sentence.

The (line of fit, vertical line test) can be used to determine if a relation is a function.

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The correct term to complete the sentence is vertical line test.

Step 1 – Defining the vertical line test

The vertical line test can be used to determine whether a graph represents a function. If we can draw any vertical line that intersects a graph more than once, then the graph does not define a function because a function has only one output value for each input value.

Step 2 – Using vertical line test

Inspect the graph to see if any vertical line drawn would intersect the curve more than once.

If there is any such line, determine that the graph does not represent a function.

Step 3 – Determining the correct term

The correct term is vertical line test.
