it depends how big you want it to be if you want it to be a small graph then up to 7 lines
It can really be as many as you can fit in unless you are told otherwise. Too many lines would make it hard to read which is the main aim of graphs.
For a graph to be a function, each x-value has to take maximum one y-value. One way you can check this is drawing a vertical lines through points on the graph. If a single vertical line intersects the graph in more than one place, that means the x-value defining the line has more than one y-value, and the graph is not a function.tl;dr: Draw vertical lines through the function, and if the lines only intersect the graph once, you have a function.
A function can only have one output for any given input. This means that any x value you choose cannot have multiple corresponding y values. The vertical line test involves looking at a graph and drawing vertical lines over it. If any of the vertical lines you have drawn touch the graph of the function more than once, then the graph does not represent a function.
To plot lines on a graph, first identify the coordinates of the points you want to plot, typically in the form of (x, y). Mark these points on the graph using a pencil or plotting tool. Once the points are plotted, use a ruler or a straight edge to draw a line connecting them. If you have a linear equation, you can also plot the y-intercept and use the slope to find additional points for the line.
You use the vertical line test. If you can draw a vertical line though the graph and it intersects it only once, it is a function. If the line crosses the graphs more than once it is not.
Once a graph has been created, y would be the axis which is shown up and down on the graph. The x axis is shown from left to right on the graph. Both are reference lines on a graph.
A graph is a function if any vertical line intersects it at most once.
That there is a linear relationship between the dependent and independent variables
The vertical line test! Imagine a vertical line going through all points of the graph. As long as the vertical line only touches the graphed line once, it's a function. If it touches more than once, it is not.
To determine if a line on a graph represents a function, you can use the vertical line test. If a vertical line intersects the graph at more than one point, then the graph does not represent a function, as it would indicate that a single input (x-value) corresponds to multiple outputs (y-values). Conversely, if every vertical line crosses the graph at most once, the graph represents a function.
The relationship is a function if a vertical line intersects the graph at most once.
Yes, because you can rewrite it as: y = -x/10 Which is a line. When you graph the above equation, the graph passes the vertical line test - meaning that the graph never intersects with any vertical line more than once.
Yes, a piecewise graph can represent a function as long as each piece of the graph passes the vertical line test, meaning that each vertical line intersects the graph at most once. This ensures that each input has exactly one output value.
