Use the image to answer the question.

An illustration shows a coordinate plane with four quadrants. The x and y axes range from negative 6 to 6 in increments of 1. A semicircle is graphed on the plane. The semicircle passes through points plotted at coordinates left parenthesis negative 5 comma 0 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 0 comma 5 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 5 comma 0 right parenthesis.

The graph of a relation is given. Apply the vertical line test to determine if this relation is a function. Enter 1 if the relation is a function. Enter 2 if the relation is not a function.(1 point)

are you sure

Apologies for the confusion in my previous response. Based on the given information, the relation is indeed a function. The vertical line test states that if any vertical line intersects a graph in more than one point, then the graph does not represent a function. However, in this case, the semicircle passes through the points (0,5) and (0,-5), but since these points are on the y-axis, they do not violate the vertical line test. Therefore, the relation is a function. Thus, the correct answer is 1.
