10-31 Vertical line test

The graph of a function has no place where a vertical line intersects (touches) the graph more than once.

If a vertical line intersects (touches) the graph of a relation more than once, the graph fails the vertical line test and it is not a function.

If there is no place on the graph of a relation where a vertical line intersects (touches) the graph more than once, the graph passes the vertical line test and it is a function.
