Is the following graph a linear function, a nonlinear function, and/or a relation?

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This graph passes the vertical line test, indicating that for any given input x, there will be exactly one output y. Thus, this graph represents a non-linear function and also a relation.
Option: C is the correct answer.
C. Non linear function and a relation.
The graph is clearly a relation since we have a ordered pair of the type:
(x,y)
Also, a relation is a function if it is passes the vertical line test.
i.e. there is just one image corresponding to every x value.
i.e. a variable x can't be mapped to two different values of y.
Hence, from the graph we can conclude that:
The relation is a function.
Also, the function is a non-linear function since the graph of a linear function is a straight line but here the graph is not a line.
Hence, the function is Non linear.
