Answer
Yes, the graph does pass the vertical line test, as it does not hit the same x value twice.
Work Step by Step
We can switch the original equation into slope intercept form, y = $x^{2}$. We then can plot points by plugging in numbers. Once we have the graph, we must test it by putting a vertical line on the graph. The Vertical Line test is used to determine if a graph is a function. If a vertical line intersects a graph more than once, then it is NOT a function. The graph in this problem does pass the vertical line test as it does not hit the same x value twice.
