Answer

Not a function.

Work Step by Step

The given graph is not a function because it does not pass the vertical line test. The vertical line test states that if a graph is the graph of a function, there can be no vertical line which passes through the graph twice. Since a vertical line can pass through this graph twice, it is not a graph of a function.
