Answer:

  a) not a function

  b) is a function

  c) not a function

  d) is a function

Step-by-step explanation:

If the graph passes the "vertical line test," then the relation is a function.

Choices B and D are linear equations. Their graph is a straight line, so each x-value corresponds to exactly one y-value. (Every non-vertical line passes the vertical line test.)

Choices A and C are equations of parabolas that open horizontally. It is easy to draw a vertical line that intersects the graph twice, so these relations fail the vertical line test.

  B, D -- functions

  A, C -- not functions
