Answer

The graph represents a function because it passes the vertical line test, which means there is only one $y$ value for every $x$ value.

Work Step by Step

According to the vertical line test, if we draw a vertical line through any point on the graph, the line will only go through one point on the graph, meaning that there is only one $y$ value for every $x$ value. Note that every vertical line will pass through only one point on the given graph Thus, the graph represents a function.
