Is the relationship represented by the graph a function? Justify your reasoning. Use the words “input” and “output” in your explanation, and connect them to the context represented by the graph.
Suppose the weights and prices of additional wedges of cheese were plotted on the graph. Might that change your answer to question 13? Explain your reasoning.
A mapping diagram represents a relationship that contains three different input values and four different output values. Is the relationship a function? Explain your reasoning.
