Checking Your Work with the Vertical Line Test

Make Sure It's a Function

The vertical line test is a quick and easy way to check if a graph represents a function. If any vertical line crosses the graph more than once, it's not a function. Use this strategy to double-check your answers on test day, especially when working with graphs.

Examples

  • Drawing vertical lines on a graph to make sure each line only hits once.

  • Spotting that a circle fails the vertical line test and isn't a function.
