State
The vertical line test reads a graph: if any vertical line crosses the graph more than once, the graph is not a function.
Show
The graph of x = y² contains (4, 2) and (4, −2); the vertical line x = 4 hits both, so one input claims two outputs.
Builds on
- Nothing — this is a starting point.
Unlocks
- Nothing yet depends on this.
