Answer

$ a.\quad$ Not a function $ b.\quad$ none

Work Step by Step

$ a.\quad$ Apply the vertical line test: If it is possible for a vertical line to cross a graph more than once, then the graph is not the graph of a function. The graph fails the test, as the vertical line $x=-2$ crosses it in infinitely many points. Not a function. $b.$ - does not apply - not a function.
