Answer

The function is one-to-one.

Work Step by Step

The Horizontal Line Test says that if all horizontal lines drawn intersect the graph of the function at at most one point, then the function is one-to-one. All horizontal lines will pass through the graph in at most one point so this function passes the Horizontal Line Test. Hence the function is one-to-one.
