Use the vertical line test to determine if the given graph represents a function. A function is plotted on an x y coordinate plane. The x and y axes range from negative 10 to 10, in increments of 1. The function passes through the points, (negative 8, negative 1), (negative 4.5, 1), (negative 1.5, negative 1), (1.5, 1), (4.5, negative 1), and (7.5, 1). Note: all values are approximate.
