If Austin scores a 78 and 85 on his first two tests, what does he need to score on his third test to average an 87 for all three?
Austin needs to score a 98.

The vertical line test determines? Why (you must use the terms domain and range)
The vertical line test determines if the relation is a function, because it graphically test to see if any domain value (x) has more than one range value (y). If it does, then the relation is not a function
